Light Philadelphia
Product Insights
Light Philadelphia is a reduced-fat cream cheese spread sold in a 280 g polypropylene tub and belongs to the Milk and dairy products category, specifically cheese. It carries an A-grade Nutri-Score and a NOVA 4 classification, offering low sugar (1.33 g per 100 g) and low salt (0.17 g per 100 g) with 8 g of protein, but it contains stabilisers such as guar gum (E412) and carrageenan, making it an ultra-processed product. Thus, while its favorable Nutri-Score suggests a relatively good nutritional profile compared with typical spreadable cheeses, consumers should weigh the presence of additives and moderate fat content when choosing it.
