Our take
CleanPlate reviewFour-ingredient mozzarella with two conflicting panels
Mooz Pizza Mozzarella is a 200 g block of mozzarella made from pasteurised milk, cultures, salt and microbial rennet. The pack back and a promo card print different nutrition panels, and the card panel (per 100 g) is used here.
CleanPlate scores it BA2. The B for nutrition reflects 14 g protein and natural calcium per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by pasteurized milk), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (14 g per 100 g); no sodium is printed, so none is counted.
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- On the packHolds
“100% Natural”
Only milk, cultures, salt and microbial rennet are listed; no additive, colour or preservative.
- Retail listingPartly true
“High Protein, Low Calorie”
14 g of protein per 100 g is high, but 246 kcal per 100 g is not low calorie.
How BA2 breaks down
Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.
Good nutrient density
- Protein
- 14 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium
- Energy
- 246 kcal
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.
Clean, minimally processed
- Base
- Pasteurized Milk
- Sweeteners
- None added
- Additives
- 1
- Flagged
- None
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Total sugar
- 0.6 g
- Saturated fat
- 14 g
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
A closer look
Does the label add up?
Pasteurised milk, cultures, salt and microbial rennet. No percentages are declared.
Per 100 g: 246 kcal, 20 g fat of which 14 g saturated, 0.6 g sugar, 14 g protein. The pack-back box prints about 596 kcal, 39 g fat, 29 g protein and 1.5 g carbohydrate, which adds up to only 473 kcal by Atwater, and it has no sodium or saturated fat line. A Blinkit promo card prints 246 kcal, 14 g protein, 20 g fat and 14 g saturated fat, which is consistent (242 kcal by Atwater) and matches the listing; the card panel is used and the pack-back box is not. The label loses 2 points for a pack panel that contradicts itself, and the score is provisional (PANEL_CONFLICT) until the real pack is checked. Neither panel prints sodium, so none is counted, and the panel prints no trans fat. Microbial rennet counts as an enzyme in the additives score.
Ingredients to watch
- Nutrition panelConcern
The pack-back panel (about 596 kcal) fails its own energy sum, so the values come from a promo card.
- Saturated fatWorth watching
14 g per 100 g, almost three times the 5 g line, though dairy fat is weighted lightly.
- SodiumWorth watching
Not printed on either panel, so it cannot be checked.
- ProteinFine
14 g per 100 g, with 625 mg calcium.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Mozzarella is a low-calorie cheese"
At 246 kcal per 100 g it is lighter than hard cheese but not low calorie.
Myth: "Natural cheese has no salt"
Salt is a listed ingredient, and the sodium is not printed on the panel.
