Plant Based Mature Cheddar

Plant Based Mature Cheddar is a vegan cheese‑style product marketed in the United Kingdom as a plant‑based alternative to traditional cheddar, falling under the milk and dairy products group despite its non‑dairy formulation. It delivers 25.7 g of fat (including 22.2 g of saturated fat) per 100 g, only 0.2 g of protein, 6 g of fiber, 0.4 g of sugars and 2.2 g of salt, making it high in saturated fat and fiber but low in protein. The product carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified in NOVA group 4, reflecting its ultra‑processed nature and the presence of three additives: carotenes (E160a), lactic acid (E270) and agar (E406), which are suitable for vegans but may be a concern for those limiting saturated fat or seeking high‑protein foods.
