Affordable and Healthy Oaxaca Cheese Options Revealed by Profeco

In a recent study by the Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (Profeco), 30 Oaxaca cheese brands were scrutinized for quality and health standards. Among them, only a few emerged as affordable, healthy, and plastic-free options.

Esmeralda, Lala, and Alpura were the standout choices, offering high protein content and low calorie counts without the inclusion of starch or plastic. However, the majority of brands did not meet these standards, with some cheeses containing alarming levels of mold and yeast, and others misrepresenting nutritional information.

This comprehensive analysis is crucial for consumers aiming to make healthier and more informed purchasing decisions.
