Breakstone's Cottage Cheese scores 92/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 13g protein and 4g sugar. 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.

Breakstone's Cottage Cheese lists 4 ingredients, starting with Cultured Pasteurized Skim Milk and Cream, Tapioca Starch, Salt and Vitamin a Palmitate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

100 kcal per serving, or 85 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Breakstone's Cottage Cheese on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 92/100 Breakstone's Cottage Cheese sits in our top band, among the better cheese we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Organic Valley Stringles Organic String Cheese at 97/100.
