Summary
This cheese blend is made from reduced-fat cheeses, which provide a good source of protein and calcium with fewer calories. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the addition of anti-caking agents and a mold inhibitor, which limits its score. Despite having beneficial ingredients, the processing level and presence of additives prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
