Summary

This cheddar cheese is made from pasteurized milk and cultures, which are beneficial for providing essential nutrients and aiding in flavor development. However, the product is considered ultra-processed due to the inclusion of color additives and its processing level, which limits its overall health rating. Despite having good macronutrient content, the processing level and presence of additives prevent it from achieving a higher score.
