Summary

This shredded Parmesan cheese is primarily made from high-quality Parmesan cheese, which is a good source of protein and calcium. However, it includes an anti-caking blend with natamycin, a synthetic preservative, which slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the beneficial ingredients.
