Summary
This grated Parmesan cheese contains high-quality protein and calcium from the Parmesan cheese itself, which is beneficial for bone health. However, the product includes additives like powdered cellulose to prevent caking and natamycin as a mold inhibitor, which are common in processed foods but do not contribute nutritional benefits. The presence of these additives and the processing level limit the score despite the cheese's inherent nutritional value.
