Wegmans Vanilla, Walnut & Raisin Cream Cheese is a creamy spread enhanced with natural flavors of vanilla, raisins, and walnuts, making it a versatile option for snacks or recipes. The product provides a balance of sugars, fats, and nutrients but is not particularly low in calories compared to whole foods.
The nutrition facts reveal 100 calories per serving, which is relatively high for a spread meant to be used as part of a meal rather than consumed alone. While it contains beneficial ingredients like raisins (natural fruit) and walnuts (healthy fats), the added sugars and artificial vanilla flavor suggest it is more processed than minimally so.
Given the presence of stabilizers like xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and natural vanilla flavor, this product falls into the minimally processed category as it involves some processing but retains whole-food ingredients. However, due to the added sugars and lack of fiber, it may not be the healthiest choice for regular consumption.
For a healthier alternative, consider making your own cream cheese spread using full-fat plain yogurt or sour cream as a base, mixed with real vanilla extract, raisins, and walnuts.
