Knudsen Low Fat Cottage Cheese
At a glance
Summary
This cottage cheese is ultra-processed, which limits its score despite having some beneficial ingredients like cultured milk and vitamin D3. The presence of modified food starch and natural flavors, which are highly processed and offer no nutritional benefits, further impacts the rating. While it contains a moderate amount of additives, the overall processing level and inclusion of less transparent ingredients reduce its healthiness.
