Piraeus Sheep Feta 5%

About this product

This product carries a wellbeing score of 38%, which sits below the neutral 50% threshold and suggests that, for a food meant for consumption, it may offer limited nutritional benefit relative to its potential downsides. Its safety score of 81% indicates a generally low level of acute risk under normal eating conditions.

Sheep's milk forms the dairy base, contributing protein and fat that give feta its characteristic texture and satiety. Salt serves both as a flavor enhancer and a traditional preserving agent, while preservative (E-202) helps protect against mold growth during storage.

The main concerns center on sheep's milk, which carries medium-level flags for heavy metal residues and lead developmental risk, along with a low risk of pathogen enterotoxins. Salt is noted for potential harm from high intake and its high sodium content, and the preservative E-202 has only low-level concerns of rare hypersensitivity or mild irritation at high concentrations.

Overall, this feta is a familiar dairy product that is likely safe in typical portions, but its below-neutral wellbeing score and medium-level ingredient concerns suggest it is best consumed in moderation.
