Common questions
Is Cheddar healthy?
Cheddar scores 100/100 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. 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.
What is in Cheddar?
Cheddar lists 1 ingredient, starting with Cheese. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Cheddar contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Cheddar’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is Cheddar?
We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Cheddar yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.
How does Cheddar compare to other dairy & eggs?
At 100/100 Cheddar sits in our top band, among the better dairy & eggs we have scored.
Is Cheddar organic?
Yes. Cheddar carries USDA Organic certification, which is worth +5 points in the score above.
Has Cheddar been lab tested?
Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Cheddar, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
