Galbani RICOTTA CHEESE
At a glance
Summary
This ricotta cheese is ultra-processed due to the inclusion of stabilizers like xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and guar gum. While it contains beneficial dairy ingredients such as whey and skim milk, the presence of multiple additives and its processing level limit its healthfulness. The product's nutritional profile is decent, but the processing and additives prevent it from scoring higher.
