Summary
Feta Crumbles are a processed cheese product with a relatively clean ingredient list, including pasteurized milk and cheese cultures, which provide essential nutrients and beneficial bacteria. However, the presence of cellulose powder as an anti-caking agent indicates a level of processing, and the use of natamycin as a preservative further contributes to its processed nature. Despite these factors, the product maintains a good nutritional profile with high protein content.
