Wegmans Lox Cream Cheese is a creamy salmon-based spread made with pasteurized cream, milk, and a blend of stabilizers, designed for use as a dip or topping.
The nutrition facts reveal that each serving contains 80 calories, with significant fat content including 8 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, and no trans fats. While it provides 3 grams of protein and some omega-3 fatty acids from the salmon, its high calorie and sodium content makes it a treat rather than a regular snack choice.
The product appears to be ultra-processed due to the inclusion of numerous additives like xanthan gum, locust bean gum, guar gum, potassium sorbate, and vegetable juice for coloring, which are indicative of extensive processing to enhance shelf life and flavor.
Instead of this processed option, consider opting for plain cream cheese or homemade dips like avocado or hummus for a healthier alternative with fewer added chemicals and higher nutritional value.
