Organic Low Fat Cottage Cheese, 16 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this tub in the refrigerated dairy case, pulled out for weekend brunch, packed lunches, or a quick post-workout snack — an everyday grocery staple. The vibe is wholesome and practical, evoking simple breakfasts and salads rather than indulgence. The ingredient list is mostly milk and live cultures but includes citric acid and plant-based thickeners to standardize texture and shelf life, signaling a processed dairy product rather than a single-ingredient fresh food.
