What You Should Know

Found in the refrigerated dairy case, this organic low-fat cottage cheese is the kind of tub you pull out for morning bowls, salads, or a quick high-protein snack. It gives a wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe but the added stabilizers and acids mean the texture and shelf life are industrially tuned — a sign of more intensive processing (see NOVA hints).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Despite organic milk and live cultures, the product contains industrial additives (organic guar gum, organic locust bean gum, citric acid) and fortification, which are used to modify texture and shelf life and align it with NOVA 4 (ultra-processed).
