Summary
This sharp cheddar cheese is a processed food with a relatively clean ingredient list, primarily consisting of cheddar cheese, cultured pasteurized milk, salt, and enzymes. The presence of added color, which is often artificial, slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. Despite being processed, it provides high-quality protein and calcium, which are beneficial for bone health.
