Summary
This cheese blend contains natural ingredients like cultured pasteurized milk and enzymes, which are generally positive. However, it includes additives such as natamycin and powdered cellulose to prevent caking and mold, which contribute to its higher processing level. The presence of these additives and the ultra-processed nature of the product limit its score despite the absence of harmful seed oils or artificial dyes.
