is kraft's fatfree cream cheese ok for South Beach phase 1?

I can't seem to find the nutritional content or the ingredients when I GOOGLE. Can you post them if you have a package? It could be OK but it may have fillers like cornstarch or sugar in which case it is not allowed if you want to be strictly OP.

Here is the page from the Kraft website that shows the nutrition info and the ingredients.

Where's the cream cheese?

The South Beach website lists fat free cream cheese as Phase 2 and 3 only, not Phase 1. There is a limit on how much you can eat, too, but I can't remember the exact amount. I think it's 2 tablespoons per day.
