Summary
This cheese blend contains high-quality cheeses like Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Asadero, and Queso Quesadilla, which are beneficial for their protein and calcium content. However, the product is considered ultra-processed due to the inclusion of anti-caking agents and mold inhibitors, which limits its score. Despite the good nutritional profile, the level of processing and additives prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
