Common questions

Is Sainsbury's Cheese healthy?

Sainsbury's Cheese 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 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.
