Clover Sonoma Cottage Cheese

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Clover Sonoma Cottage Cheese scores 63/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Clover Sonoma Cottage Cheese lists 16 ingredients, starting with Cultured Nonfat Milk, Milk, Cream, Non Fat Milk and Whey. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 63/100 Clover Sonoma Cottage Cheese lands mid-scale — below the typical score in cheese, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Organic Valley Organic String Cheese at 97/100.
