Imitation Cream Cheese

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Tofutti Imitation Cream Cheese scores 48/100 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.

Tofutti Imitation Cream Cheese lists 16 ingredients, starting with Water, Expeller Processed Natural Oil Blend, Soybean, Palm Fruit and Olive. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 48/100 Tofutti Imitation Cream Cheese lands mid-scale — below the typical score in dairy-alternative cheeses, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in dairy-alternative cheeses is Nuts for Cheese Smoky Gouda Style Fermented Cashew Wedge at 97/100.
