Cottage 5% Cottage Cheese and Cream

About this product

This product carries a wellbeing score of 70%, which sits above the neutral 50% mark and indicates a moderately favorable wellbeing profile for a dairy food. Its safety score of 84% reflects a generally low-risk formulation, with the higher percentage pointing to fewer safety concerns overall.

Pasteurized Milk and Cream form the dairy base, delivering protein, calcium, and richness that support the product's role as a nourishing food. Guar gum and Locust Bean Gum act as stabilizers, helping maintain a smooth, consistent texture without relying on excessive additives.

Carrageenan appears with a low concern for gastrointestinal inflammation and possible effects on insulin sensitivity, though risks are minimal at typical intake levels. Salt contributes to the savory profile but carries medium concerns around high sodium content and potential harm from excessive intake. The dairy ingredients also present a medium milk allergen risk for sensitive individuals.

Overall, this cottage cheese and cream product offers a balanced nutritional profile with modest wellbeing and safety scores, though individuals with milk allergies or sodium sensitivities should consume it mindfully.
