You can have 75g of any Philadelphia soft cheese that says 'medium fat soft cheese' under the word 'Philadelphia' on the top of the lid
Forgot to add, it's an A choice

I only know that any that say 'medium fat soft cheese' under philladelphia are a HE A.
Are the flavoured ones low fat soft cheese? If they are maybe that's why?
jezzi999 said:It's purely down to the calcium levels.
The calcium levels are lower in the flavoured versions. HexA allowance is for calcium, so that's why it matters.
Others have called the helpline before and been told the same, but you should ring them if you want confirmation.
I have the 2012 free foods book, which has the complete list of healthy extras in the back, and it only lists the plain variety as a HexA for EE.
As stated the flavoured versions are a HexB on green, that is because on green HexB covers protein as well, and the flavoured versions have sufficient protein to count as HexB.
If you wish to tweak the plan, that's fine, but what people are telling you is correct.
