Summary
This product is ultra-processed, which limits its potential health score despite having some organic ingredients. The use of organic durum wheat semolina and organic cheddar cheese provides beneficial nutrients, but the presence of natural flavors and the overall processing level reduce its healthfulness. The product's clean label with minimal additives is a positive aspect, yet the ultra-processing cap prevents a higher score.
