Summary
This grated mozzarella cheese is a processed product, which limits its score potential. It contains mozzarella cheese as the primary ingredient, providing high-quality protein and essential nutrients. However, the addition of an anti-caking agent, potato starch, indicates a level of processing that prevents it from achieving a higher score typical of whole-form cheeses.
