Organic Low Fat Cottage Cheese, 16 OZ
What You Should Know
You'll spot this in the refrigerated dairy aisle next to other cottage cheeses and organic dairy — a common grab for smoothies, savory breakfasts, or a high-protein snack. It gives a wholesome, slightly nostalgic 'simple dairy' vibe, but the smooth, stable texture and longer shelf-life come from added stabilizers and fortification (guar gum, locust bean gum, citric acid, vitamin A palmitate), which are hints of higher industrial processing.
