Summary

This cottage cheese is ultra-processed, which limits its score despite having beneficial ingredients like cultured nonfat milk. The presence of multiple stabilizers and thickeners, such as guar gum, xanthan gum, and carrageenan, contributes to its processing level and raises concerns about potential digestive issues. While it provides a good source of protein, the additives and processing level prevent it from scoring higher.
