“Specialist” answers • Al-Marsad newspaper

Al-Marsad Newspaper: Faisal bin Sneid, director of the health food department at the Food and Pharmaceutical Authority, explained the difference between cheese and similar cheese on the market and which one is healthier.

He said during an interview with the “Al-Rased” program broadcast on the “Al-Ikhbariya” channel: “Cheese is made from milk, and sometimes the fat is removed from the milk, and the cheese is made and vegetable oils are added , and in this case it is said to be similar to cheese, because it is not the original cheese.””.

She continued, “As far as the cheese goes, it’s made entirely of milk and the natural fats in the milk aren’t replaced with vegetable oils or fats,” noting that whole-milk cheese is the healthiest.
