Mozzarella Cheese Ball — MUNCH
Munch or Dump rates Mozzarella Cheese Ball by SAINSBURY'S STANDARD STREET CO. MUNCH — score 88/90.
Two ingredients: cheese and the acid that keeps it fresh in the brine. In a world of 'cheese-style' products held together with starches and gums, a budget mozzarella that is just mozzarella is quietly heroic. Watch the portion, not the label.
Why this verdict
- Two-ingredient list: real mozzarella (cows' milk) plus citric acid as an acidity regulator
- A whole food, not a formulation — good protein (~18g/100g) and calcium
- No preservatives, stabilizers, starches, or anti-caking agents that plague cheap cheese
- Fresh mozzarella is one of the lower-salt cheeses
- Saturated dairy fat means portion sense, not avoidance
Ingredients (2)
- Mozzarella cheese (cows' milk) (safe) — Real fresh cheese made from pasteurised cows' milk — a solid source of protein and calcium. Higher in saturated fat, so portion matters, but it's a genuine whole food.
- Citric acid (acidity regulator) (safe) — Common, harmless acidity regulator used to control pH and texture.
