Yenzo has checked 2 products in this group, from Kirkland and La vache qui rit; on a Vietnamese pack the group is called “phô mai”. The ingredient list and the nutrition table of each product come from its own label — both from the open database Open Food Facts — and every product is rated with the same open formula the Yenzo app uses. Product names are given as printed on the pack, in Vietnamese, with a short English description in brackets.

On the Yenzo scale, both are rated “Moderate”. Across these 2 products, the thing that most often pulls the rating down is fat (2 of 2 products), followed by salt (1) and energy density (1). The ratings compare cheese with each other by the same rules — which rank higher within the group — not whether to eat them. Each product's page lists the reasons behind its level, figure by figure, with the threshold each figure is measured against.
