- ingredients · disputed: USDA's label record lists condensed skim milk and pectin before salt; the maker's page lists skim milk, salt before pectin, and six named cultures. Which list is on current packs is unconfirmed without a back-label photo.
- nutrition · disputed: USDA's per-100 g values correspond to 50 kcal and 60 mg sodium per 30 g serving; the maker's current panel prints 60 kcal, 5 g fat and 40 mg sodium per 30 g. Likely different label revisions; change date unknown.
- identity · unknown: No source printing the barcode shows the pack; the maker page is tied to this UPC only by SKU 10003. An Amazon listing (B005R8D5LQ) titled "Mediterranean Style" shows yet another panel and may be the separate Mediterranean article (maker SKU 22214).
- ingredients · not_researched: Allergen statement ("Contains: Milk" or similar) not seen on any available image.
- relationships · unknown: The maker names its Turlock, California plant, but no source ties this article to a manufacturing site; no manufactured_by edge recorded.
