At a glance
Summary
This shredded cheddar cheese is a processed product with a clean ingredient list, primarily consisting of cheddar cheese and a natural preservative, natamycin. The use of anti-caking agents like potato and tapioca starch is typical for shredded cheese but indicates a moderate level of processing. While the cheese itself provides high-quality protein and calcium, the presence of preservatives and processing agents slightly lowers its score.
