Summary
This light sour cream is a processed product with a relatively clean ingredient list, featuring cultured pasteurized milk which provides probiotics and essential nutrients. However, the presence of potassium sorbate, a synthetic preservative, slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. The product's processing level limits its maximum potential score, despite having only one additive.
