This cheese is tasty and soft, but the ingredients are cream and citric acid and the nutrition label lists sugars as less than 1 g instead of the zero grams I see on most cheeses. It's made in Italy.
Dies anyone know if this is HFI-safe?

Cheese typically has lactose in it, which is a safe sugar for people with HFI. Lactose would register as a sugar on the nutritional label. Milk also has a lot of sugar in it, but it is a safe sugar. The ingredients you've listed on the cheese do not sound concerning.

Thank you. I'm glad citric acid is ok because it seems to be in a lot of foods :-)

Maybe a lot of the other cheeses that I'm used to seeing just have less lactose so the nutrition label registers at zero grams.

I've never actually looked at the cheese sugar content that closely! I was actually pretty surprised to hear you say that cheese didn't have any %sugars listed on the nutritional label! I thought all dairy products had lactose in them. |

The Lactose (like all sugars) is highly soluble so it remains in any liquid or comes out in the whey, this cheese (like cottage cheese) is a wet type hence there will be a tiny amount of Lactose.
