Common questions
Is H-E-B MONTEREY JACK healthy?
H-E-B MONTEREY JACK scores 100/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.
What is in H-E-B MONTEREY JACK?
H-E-B MONTEREY JACK lists 4 ingredients, starting with Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt and Microbial Enzymes. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

No. Nothing in H-E-B MONTEREY JACK’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is H-E-B MONTEREY JACK?
We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for H-E-B MONTEREY JACK yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

Is H-E-B MONTEREY JACK organic?

Has H-E-B MONTEREY JACK been lab tested?
