Product Insights
Philadelphia Light is a spreadable cheese made from pasteurized white cheese, milk, cream and a blend of stabilizers, marketed as a reduced‑fat alternative and labelled gluten‑free. It belongs to the Milk and dairy products group, carries a Nutri‑Score of D and is classified in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting the presence of additives such as carrageenan (E410), alginate (E407) and potassium sorbate (E202). Nutritionally it offers low calories and lower saturated fat (8.1 g) and salt (1.15 g) than typical cheese spreads, but its sugar level (4 g per 100 g) exceeds the category average, and it remains a milk allergen.
