I've been trying to figure something about my local dairy.
I buy cheese (that resembles queso fresco that you can find in the USandA) from a reliable farmer. The cows are fed exclusively on grass, are free and live in very hot weather (almost as hot as pboy). But then, at the label comes the odd part:
In each 30g, you have:
100kcal
Carbohydrates 1g
Proteins 5g
[highlight=yellow]Total Fats 6g
Sat Fats 2g
Trans Fats 0g[/highlight]
Fiber 0g
Sodium 126mg
The trans fats could be explained by a low enough serving to not show them up. But the proportion of saturated to unsaturated is really weird. I cannot think of anything other than adulterated label, which seems the only plausible explanation for me. On a side note, our coconut oil that is highly saturated (unlike a lot of places around the globe that force the trees to grow outside their natural environment) is adverstised as healthy because they contain minuscule amounts of PUFA. So, why the cheese's label wouldn't be adulterated?
Does anyone have any opinion?
There's no heat involved in the process by the way.
