Common questions

Is Kraft Parmesan healthy?

Kraft Parmesan scores 95/100 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 Kraft Parmesan?

Kraft Parmesan lists 5 ingredients, starting with Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Cellulose and Natamycin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Kraft Parmesan contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Kraft Parmesan’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 Kraft Parmesan?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Kraft Parmesan yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.
