At a glance
Summary
This shredded mozzarella cheese is made from organic milk, which is a high-quality source of protein and calcium, and indicates a higher standard of animal welfare. However, the product is considered ultra-processed due to the addition of powdered cellulose to prevent caking, which limits its score despite the clean ingredient list. The processing level and presence of additives prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
