Summary

This mozzarella cheese is a processed product with a clean ingredient list, primarily composed of mozzarella cheese made from pasteurized part-skim milk, which is a good source of protein and calcium. However, it includes an anti-caking blend with natamycin, a natural mold inhibitor, which is an additive some consumers prefer to avoid. The presence of this additive and the processing level limit its score, despite the overall nutritional benefits.
