Analysis updated July 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This cheese blend contains several types of cheese, which are generally nutritious, but it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of anticaking agents and natamycin. These additives, while common in shredded cheese to prevent clumping and spoilage, increase the processing level of the product. Despite the presence of quality cheese ingredients, the processing and additives limit its score.
