Sargento Colby-Jack Natural Cheese Sticks Snacks
Analysis updated June 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This cheese product is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score despite having a relatively clean ingredient list. It contains pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, and enzymes, which are typical for cheese, but the presence of annatto as a coloring agent and its processing level contribute to a capped score. The product's nutritional profile is strong, with high protein and fat content, but the processing level prevents a higher rating.
