Small pearls make a mild, creamy cheese portion easy to measure. They are dairy, not fruit.
Pair the stated portion with the recipe’s protein, base and vegetables instead of adding unlimited cheese.
Drain the recipe portion before packing; keep any remaining cheese in its original liquid according to the label.
Keep refrigerated at 4°C / 40°F or below. Pack separately from crisp components and follow the shortest storage guidance for the assembled meal.
No equivalent nutrition or texture is implied. Mozzarella is cheese; a swap needs its own quantity and revised meal estimate.
Follow the product’s refrigeration and after-opening instructions. Do not add citrus to prevent fruit browning; that is not mozzarella storage guidance.
