Exceptional nutrient density

- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium, Phosphorus, Vitamin A
- Energy
- 313 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why A
Protein is 19 g per 100 g, about a quarter of the calories, and comes mostly from the cheese itself. One 20 g cube gives 3.8 g.
The panel declares calcium (551 mg), phosphorus (885 mg) and vitamin A (281 mcg) per 100 g. These micronutrients add a large bonus to the nutrition grade, which is why it is an A.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
Cheese leads the list and is made from milk solids, a microbial enzyme, a microbial culture and iodized salt. No percentages are declared.
The two phosphate emulsifiers, sodium phosphates (339) and polyphosphates (452), and the amylase enzyme cost ingredient points. The preservatives sorbic acid and nisin carry no penalty. No label promise is hollow, so there is no [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the main driver: 1,439 mg per 100 g, about 3.6 g of salt. One cube has 287.8 mg.
Saturated fat is 16 g per 100 g, over three times the 5 g high line, with 3.2 g in a cube. Energy adds a little. Added sugar is 0 g, so it plays no part, and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags

8 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 2 no concern. 2 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Cheese leads, built from milk solids, a microbial enzyme, a microbial culture and iodized salt. The enzyme and culture are what set the milk into cheese, and the salt seasons it. No percentages are given.
The emulsifiers (INS 452, INS 339) are phosphate salts that keep the processed cheese smooth and uniform. The preservatives (INS 200, INS 234) are sorbic acid and nisin, which protect it during its long shelf life.
The label numbers, read for you
Sodium decides the score: 1,439 mg per 100 g, about 3.6 g of salt, and 287.8 mg in one 20 g cube. Saturated fat is 16 g per 100 g, 3.2 g per cube. Trans fat is declared at 0.5 g per 100 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

What the additives do
Sorbic Acid (no concern): stops mould and yeast. A preservative against mould and yeast, the parent of potassium sorbate. Judged together with it; no concern at normal intakes. More on Sorbic Acid.
Nisin (no concern): natural preservative. A natural preservative made by fermentation, used mainly in paneer, cheese and coconut water. No concern at normal intakes. More on Nisin.

Ingredients to watch
- Sodium phosphates (INS 339)Worth watching
Emulsifying salt that keeps the processed cheese smooth and stops it separating. It costs ingredient points.
- Polyphosphates (INS 452)Worth watching
Emulsifier that holds the cheese together so the cubes stay firm and uniform. It costs ingredient points.
- Amylase (INS 1100)Worth watching
Enzyme listed as the microbial enzyme in the cheese, used in making it. It costs ingredient points.
- Sorbic acid (INS 200)Fine
Preservative that slows mould and yeast so the cubes keep for months.
- Nisin (INS 234)Fine
Preservative made by bacteria that guards the cheese against spoilage bacteria.
