MEDIUM CHEDDAR CHEESE
Summary
This medium cheddar cheese is ultra-processed, which limits its score despite having a relatively simple ingredient list. The presence of annatto as a colorant is a minor concern, but the cheese primarily consists of cultured milk, which is beneficial for its protein and calcium content. The processing level and use of additives prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
