Almette Natur
A refreshingly short three-ingredient cream cheese with no additives, though its saturated fat is worth watching if you spread it thickly.
Ingredients (3)
Frischkäse
Fresh cheese is a simple, minimally processed dairy food that provides protein and calcium. Cream cheese is relatively rich in saturated fat, so portion size matters. Rated yellow for the saturated fat only, not for any additive concern.
Speisesalz
Salt is used here for flavor and as a mild preservative. The amount in a typical serving is modest. It only becomes a concern if you eat several servings alongside other salty foods such as cold cuts or bread.
Stickstoff zum Aufschlagen
E941Nitrogen is an inert, odorless gas that makes up about 78% of the air we breathe. It is used to aerate the cheese for a light, spreadable texture and has no nutritional or toxicological impact. It is authorized as food additive E941.
