Common questions

Is Trader Joe's Cream Cheese healthy?

Trader Joe's Cream 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 Trader Joe's Cream Cheese?

Trader Joe's Cream Cheese lists 7 ingredients, starting with Pasteurized Milk, Pasteurized Cream, Cheese Culture, Salt and Guar Gum. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
