Great Value Cheddar Cheese

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Great Value Cheddar Cheese scores 5/100 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.

Great Value Cheddar Cheese lists 14 ingredients, starting with Whey, Cheddar Cheese, Soybean Oil, Whey Protein Concentrate and Sodium Phosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Great Value Cheddar Cheese scores worse than most cheese we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Organic Valley Organic Smoky Cheddar at 97/100.
