Summary
This cheese blend is made from organic cheeses, which are beneficial due to their high-quality protein and calcium content, and the absence of synthetic hormones. However, the product is considered ultra-processed due to the inclusion of anticaking agents like powdered cellulose, which limits its score. Despite the organic ingredients, the processing level necessitates a cap on the score.
