Summary
This cheese blend is composed of multiple types of cheese, which are generally nutritious and provide a good source of protein and calcium. However, the product is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of an anti-caking blend and natamycin, a mold inhibitor. While these additives are not harmful in small amounts, they contribute to the overall processing level, which limits the product's health score.
