Not Ultra-Processed

No — Mozza is not ultra-processed.

This cheese contains mozzarella made from milk plus citric acid as an acidity regulator. Mozzarella is a basic dairy food produced by curdling and stretching milk, and citric acid is a common, simple additive used to adjust acidity rather than an industrial flavoring or texturizing system. The product does not include industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifier systems, or refined industrial syrups or extracts that would indicate ultra-processing, so it does not fall into the ultra-processed NOVA category.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
