What You Should Know

This 15 oz tub of Organic Valley fresh ricotta sits in the refrigerated dairy case near specialty cheeses and spreads — perfect for weekend brunch, lasagna night, or a quick creamy spread on toast. Its vibe is wholesome and comforting, evoking homemade cooking and simple ingredients rather than indulgent packaged snacks. The short ingredient list (organic milks, vinegar, salt) and creamy, slightly grainy texture reflect minimal milk transformation rather than ultraprocessing, pointing toward a traditionally processed dairy product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ricotta is a transformed dairy product made by coagulating milk with an acid and adding salt, so it is classified as processed (NOVA 3). The very short ingredient list and absence of industrial additives mean it is not an ultra-processed formulation (NOVA 4).
