MEDIUM CHEDDAR CHEESE
Summary
This medium cheddar cheese is primarily made from cultured milk, which is a high-quality source of protein and calcium. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of annatto for coloring and its processing level, which limits its score. Despite having a clean ingredient list with only one additive, the processing level prevents it from achieving a higher rating.
