Daiya Cheddar Block

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Daiya Cheddar Block scores 43/100 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.

Daiya Cheddar Block lists 17 ingredients, starting with Water, Oat Flour, Pea Protein, Cultures and Enzymes. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 43/100 Daiya Cheddar Block lands mid-scale — below the typical score in plant-based milks, but clear of the bottom band.
