Common questions

Is Cheddar healthy?

Cheddar scores 82/100 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 8 ingredients, starting with Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes and Annatto. 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?

Cheddar is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.

How does Cheddar compare to other cheese?

At 82/100 Cheddar sits in our top band, among the better cheese we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Organic Valley Organic Ricotta Cheese at 95/100.
