CHEDDAR CHEESE
Summary
This cheddar cheese is primarily made from cultured milk, which is a beneficial ingredient providing essential proteins and fats. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of annatto for coloring and its processing level. Despite having a relatively clean ingredient list, the processing level limits its score.
