Ingredient Score:

Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the 365 by Whole Foods Market™ Goat Cheese Crumbles presents itself as a moderately healthy cheese option for consumers looking for cleaner food products. The cheese boasts a simple list of ingredients, including pasteurized goat’s milk, powdered cellulose to prevent caking, salt, cheese cultures, and microbial enzymes, which aligns with its aim to be a straightforward dairy choice.
The product earns its green leaves for several reasons. It is made from organic goat’s milk, ensuring that the milk comes from goats that have not been treated with synthetic hormones or fed with GMO feed. Moreover, it uses non-GMO ingredients, which meets the criteria for those seeking foods produced without genetically modified organisms. However, the score is affected because it is not entirely organic, which is a priority for this rating system.
The inclusion of powdered cellulose is a point of note. This additive is commonly used to prevent caking and is recognized as safe by food safety authorities. However, it may not align with the expectations of consumers seeking the most natural and unprocessed food options. The presence of cheese cultures and microbial enzymes is typical for cheese production and is responsible for the development of the cheese’s texture and flavor.
The 365 by Whole Foods Market™ Goat Cheese Crumbles fits into a category of products that are a compromise between the highest standards of ‘clean’ eating and more conventional options. It stands out for its use of organic goat’s milk and commitment to non-GMO ingredients, yet it acknowledges that not every aspect is organic. This product is suitable for those who are looking for a more natural cheese option but are not strictly limiting themselves to fully organic products. It serves as a middle ground in a market that is saturated with options that may not cater to health-conscious consumers.
