Mozzarella cheese sticks

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

FarmRich Mozzarella cheese sticks scores 10/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

FarmRich Mozzarella cheese sticks lists 20 ingredients, starting with Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese, Enriched Wheat Flour, Water, Soybean Oil and Yellow Corn Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 FarmRich Mozzarella cheese sticks scores worse than most cheese we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Nancy's Organic Probiotic Cream Cheese at 100/100.
