You'd spot this 16 oz tub of Organic Valley low‑fat cottage cheese in the refrigerated dairy case and pull it for breakfasts, salads, or a quick post-workout snack.

Includes industrial additives (organic guar gum, organic locust bean gum), an acidity regulator and fortification alongside processed dairy, indicating formulation and processing steps typical of NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed). While based on milk and cultures, the added stabilizers and technological ingredients push it beyond minimally/regularly processed cheese.
