Summary

This shredded mozzarella cheese is moderately processed, containing pasteurized part-skim milk as its primary ingredient, which provides essential nutrients like calcium and protein. However, the inclusion of an anti-caking blend with additives such as natamycin adds unnecessary complexity to the ingredient list. While these additives are generally safe, they contribute to the product's processing level, which limits its overall score.
