Mozzarella Sticks, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
Found in the frozen aisle as a ready-to-bake snack, these breaded mozzarella sticks deliver the melty cheese and crispy crust many of us remember from childhood parties. The vibe is indulgent and convenient — easy comfort-food nostalgia, but the ingredient list (refined starches, stabilizers like xanthan gum, added vegetable oils and very high sodium) and engineered breading/texture point to ultraprocessing.
