What You Should Know

Breakstone's Digestive Cottage Cheese 4 Pack presents a familiar, Americana-style dairy snack: four 4-oz single-serve cups of lowfat small-curd cottage cheese marketed as a high-protein, low-calorie option. You'd find it in the refrigerated dairy/snacks aisle near other cultured dairy items — cottage cheeses, Greek yogurt snack cups, and grab-and-go protein snacks — often stacked alongside lunchbox-friendly items and refrigerated dips. This product suits quick trips for packed lunches, post-workout refueling, or convenience-focused grocery runs where shoppers want portable protein without much prep. Breakstone's leans on a heritage brand positioning — invoking craft and tradition dating back to 1882 — appealing to shoppers seeking a trustworthy, established dairy name; the marketing angle highlights live active cultures, protein content, and convenience, targeting busy parents, fitness-minded adults, and older shoppers who value recognizable brands. The label emphasizes health halos like "lowfat," "live active," and a clear protein claim (12 g), while lacking organic certification or child-focused cartooning; packaging is straightforward, not flashy, using small clear cups with foil lids for single servings. Processing context: the cottage cheese is cultured and pasteurized and includes added ingredients (inulin, tapioca starch) to stabilize texture and add fiber, then portioned into sealed snack cups. Sensory details: expect a mild tang, creamy dressing around small hand-cut curds, and a slightly thick, slightly elastic mouthfeel from the stabilizers; the ritual is peel-the-foil, spoon-and-go, often eaten straight from the cup or paired with fruit, crackers, or salads for a quick protein boost.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although based on cultured milk, the inclusion of added ingredients like inulin and tapioca starch and the industrial single-serve formulation align this product with ultra-processed foods due to formulation and convenience-oriented processing.
