Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Big Mozz Mozzarella Sticks scores 32/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

At 32/100 Big Mozz Mozzarella Sticks scores worse than most cheese we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Organic Valley Organic String Cheese at 97/100.
