Summary

This cheese is made from cultured milk, salt, enzymes, and annatto for coloring. While it contains beneficial ingredients like cultured milk, which provides essential proteins and fats, the presence of annatto as an additive and its classification as ultra-processed limit its score. The processing level restricts the potential score despite the relatively clean ingredient list.
