Philadelphia Original Full Fat Soft Cheese — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Philadelphia Original Full Fat Soft Cheese by Philadelphia OKAY — score 60/90.

A short, honest list: cream cheese, salt, a touch of guar gum and citric acid. It's rich in saturated fat like any cream cheese, but there's nothing engineered or artificial hiding in here.

Why this verdict

• Short, recognizable list: soft cheese, salt, guar gum, citric acid
• No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
• High in saturated fat, so portion size matters
• Guar gum and citric acid are mild functional additives, not craving-builders

Ingredients (4)

• Full fat soft cheese (milk and cream) (moderate) — The dairy base. Nutritious protein and fat, but rich in saturated fat, which is why it's satiating but easy to overdo.
• Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
• stabiliser: guar gum (safe) — A plant-derived fiber that keeps the texture smooth and spreadable. Well tolerated in these tiny amounts.
• Acid (citric acid) (safe) — A naturally-occurring acid used to set the cheese and brighten the taste. Harmless at food levels.
