Sharp Cheddar

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to watch

Kroger Sharp Cheddar scores 87/100 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.

Kroger Sharp Cheddar lists 5 ingredients, starting with Cheese Culture, Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Enzymes and Annatto (For Color). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 87/100 Kroger Sharp Cheddar sits in our top band, among the better cheese we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Nancy's Organic Probiotic Cream Cheese at 100/100.
