Medium Dairy Free Queso, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this chilled tub in the refrigerated vegan/plant-based cheese section or near specialty dips — an easy grab for game-night nachos or a weekend queso craving. The product feels indulgent and comforting with familiar queso nostalgia, while the presence of modified starches, gums, coconut oil, yeast extract and 'natural flavors' points to an industrially formulated texture and flavor typical of ultra-processed foods.

Common Questions about Medium Dairy Free Queso, 8 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This queso is lower in calories and sugars compared to traditional cheese dips, making it a decent choice if you're looking for a lighter snack. However, it’s not particularly high in protein or fiber, so if you’re aiming for a nutrient-dense option, it might not be the star of your plate.
