Munch or Dump rates Passendale Classic by Passendale OKAY — score 60/90.

A real, traditional Belgian cheese with a clean five-ingredient list and just a natural annatto dye. Nothing engineered here, but it's still high in saturated fat and salt.

Why this verdict

Clean five-ingredient list, all recognizable
Real fermented dairy, no artificial additives or emulsifiers
Only coloring is natural annatto, not a synthetic dye
High in saturated fat (~28g fat/100g) and salt, so eat in moderation

Ingredients (5)

Pasteurized Cow's Milk (safe) — Whole-food base of the cheese; provides protein and calcium but also the saturated fat.
Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
Lactic acid ferments (safe) — Live cultures that ferment the milk; the basis of all real cheese.
Rennet (safe) — Traditional enzyme used to coagulate milk into cheese; a normal, harmless part of cheesemaking.
Annatto (natural dye) (safe) — Plant-derived color from achiote seeds; a benign natural colorant, not a synthetic dye.
