Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 3 / 3 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 3 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- United States label, as typed by an Open Food Facts contributor: nutrient evidence: 14 / 14 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- ingredients · not_researched: No allergen or Contains statement could be read (no pack photo; the maker page and retailer pages are walled), so no allergen declaration is recorded; milk is evidently present but that is not a printed declaration
- nutrition · not_researched: The printed per-serving Nutrition Facts panel has not been transcribed from a pack; only Open Food Facts' single-contributor per-100 g conversion is recorded
- nutrition · disputed: Sodium: Open Food Facts 678.57 mg per 100 g against USDA FoodData Central 190 mg per 100 g
- images · unknown: Open Food Facts has no photos of this barcode and no licensed picture was found
- relationships · unknown: The distributor block on the current pack was not read; the Lactalis marketer is derived from the 2021 business sale, not from this barcode's label
- markets · not_researched: Kroger, Acme, Foodland, Walmart and kraftnaturalcheese.com pages that name this barcode or product could not be read (403, bot challenge or timeout), so no dated price is recorded
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
