Summary
This shredded cheese product is made from fat-free cheddar cheese, which provides protein and calcium, but it includes additives like potato starch and powdered cellulose to prevent caking, as well as natamycin as a mold inhibitor. The presence of these additives and the processing level limit its score, despite the absence of harmful ingredients like seed oils or artificial colors. The product's processing level and the use of additives prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
