Summary
This cheese product is made from organic ingredients, including cheddar cheese and cultured pasteurized milk, which are beneficial for their protein and calcium content. However, it is considered ultra-processed due to the inclusion of an anti-caking blend and starches, which limits its score despite the absence of harmful additives. The organic certification and lack of synthetic additives are positive aspects, but the processing level imposes a cap on its rating.
