Great Value Fat Free Cream Cheese

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Great Value Fat Free Cream Cheese scores 32/100 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 Fat Free Cream Cheese lists 18 ingredients, starting with Skim Milk, Cheese Culture, Calcium Propionate, Potassium Sorbate and Carob Bean Gum. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 32/100 Great Value Fat Free Cream Cheese scores worse than most dairy & eggs we have scored. A higher-scoring option in dairy & eggs is Organic Valley Grassmilk Half & Half at 100/100.
