365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Sour Cream — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Sour Cream by 365 by Whole Foods Market MUNCH — score 100/90.

This is sour cream the way it should be: organic cultured milk, organic cream, and the enzymes that culture it. Three recognizable ingredients, no gums, thickeners, or stabilizers. It is full-fat cultured dairy, so enjoy it as a topping rather than by the spoon, but the formula itself is genuinely clean.

Why this verdict

• Only three ingredients, all recognizable whole-dairy components
• Cultured dairy is minimally processed (NOVA 1) with no additives
• No stabilizers, gums, or vitamin-A palmitate found in many light versions
• Organic milk and cream, so no synthetic pesticide or hormone concerns
• Rich in saturated fat, so it is a topping food, not a health food, but that is honest for sour cream

Ingredients (3)

• Cultured pasteurized organic milk (safe) — The base dairy; culturing with live bacteria is a traditional, minimal process.
• Pasteurized organic cream (safe) — Adds the fat that makes it full-fat; a whole-dairy ingredient.
• microbial enzymes (safe) — Vegetarian-friendly coagulating enzymes; standard and harmless.
