Summary
This shredded quesadilla cheese is made from pasteurized whole cow's milk, which is a high-quality source of protein and calcium. However, it includes powdered cellulose as an anti-caking agent, which is a processed additive that does not provide nutritional benefits. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the presence of beneficial ingredients.
