Summary
This grated Parmesan cheese is a processed product with a relatively clean ingredient list, featuring high-quality Parmesan cheese and pasteurized part skim milk, which provide essential nutrients like protein and calcium. However, the presence of powdered cellulose as an anti-caking agent introduces a processed additive, which slightly detracts from its overall nutritional profile. The processing level limits its score, despite the beneficial ingredients.
