Summary
This cheese product contains cultured pasteurized milk, salt, and enzymes, which are generally positive ingredients. However, the presence of natamycin, a synthetic preservative, introduces a moderate concern due to its potential health implications. The product is processed, which limits its score, and the inclusion of starches suggests additional processing beyond traditional cheese-making methods.
