Summary
This mozzarella cheese is made from pasteurized part-skim milk and cheese cultures, which are beneficial for providing essential nutrients like calcium and protein. However, it includes powdered cellulose as an anti-caking agent, which is a processed additive that does not contribute nutritional value. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the presence of mostly clean ingredients.
