Extra Light Soft Cheese — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Extra Light Soft Cheese by Simply M&S OKAY — score 60/90.

A clean one-ingredient soft cheese with no additives, just reduced-fat milk fermented into cheese. Cutting the fat trades richness for a slightly more processed, watered-down product, but the list itself is honest and short.

Why this verdict

• Single clean ingredient: reduced-fat soft cheese from milk, no additives or gums
• Naturally fermented dairy, a recognizable real food
• Stripping the fat removes satiety and fat-soluble vitamins, leaving a thinner product
• Decent protein and calcium for the calories

Ingredients (1)

• Reduced Fat Soft Cheese (Milk) (safe) — Soft cheese made from cow's milk with some fat removed. A simple fermented dairy product with protein and calcium; the lower fat means less satiety and fewer fat-soluble vitamins than full-fat versions.
