Summary
This shredded mild cheddar cheese contains beneficial ingredients like cheddar cheese and pasteurized milk, which provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients. However, the presence of powdered cellulose as an anti-caking agent indicates a moderate level of processing, which slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. The product is processed, which limits its maximum potential score despite having relatively clean ingredients.
