Our take

CleanPlate review

Mozzarella and cheddar blend, nothing else added

Amul Blend Diced Cheese is a pack of diced cheese made from mozzarella and cheddar, with four 45 g servings (180 g). The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it CA3. The C for nutrition is middling: 23 g protein per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (13 g per 100 g) and sodium (400 mg per 100 g).

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese, each made from milk solids, iodised salt, microbial rennet and active cultures. No percentages are declared.

Per 100 g: 289 kcal, 21 g fat of which 13 g saturated, 2 g sugar of which 0 g added, 23 g protein, 400 mg sodium. Net quantity is taken as 180 g (4 servings of 45 g); an older listing read said 200 g, so the pack weight should be checked. Atwater energy is 289 kcal, equal to the declared value. Microbial rennet counts as an enzyme in the additives score. The photos show no veg mark.
