Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This shredded cheese product contains high-quality ingredients like Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses, which provide protein and calcium. However, the inclusion of an anti-caking blend and natamycin as a mold inhibitor indicates a higher level of processing. While the cheeses themselves are nutritious, the product's ultra-processed nature and use of preservatives limit its overall health score.
