Common questions

Is Saputo Parmesan healthy?

Saputo Parmesan scores 41/100 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 Saputo Parmesan?

Saputo Parmesan lists 7 ingredients, starting with Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Calcium Chloride, Microbial Enzyme and Cellulose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Saputo Parmesan contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Saputo 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 Saputo Parmesan?

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

How does Saputo Parmesan compare to other cheese?

Has Saputo Parmesan been lab tested?
