Summary
This shredded mozzarella cheese is a processed product with added anti-caking agents and a mold inhibitor, which are typical for pre-shredded cheeses. While it contains beneficial ingredients like pasteurized part-skim milk, the presence of additives such as natamycin and starches slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. The processing level and use of additives prevent it from achieving a higher score.
