Common questions

Is Sainsbury's Cheese healthy?

Sainsbury's Cheese scores 54/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Sainsbury's Cheese?

Sainsbury's Cheese lists 2 ingredients, starting with Cheddar Cheese and anti-Caking Agent (Potato Starch). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Sainsbury's Cheese contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Sainsbury's Cheese’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 Sainsbury's Cheese?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Sainsbury's Cheese yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Sainsbury's Cheese compare to other cheese?

Yes. Sainsbury's Cheese carries USDA Organic certification, which is worth +5 points in the score above.

Has Sainsbury's Cheese been lab tested?
