Summary

This mozzarella blend contains whole milk low-moisture mozzarella cheese, which is a good source of protein and calcium. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of modified cornstarch and natamycin, which are used to prevent caking and inhibit mold, respectively. The processing level limits its score despite the presence of beneficial ingredients.

Whole Milk Low-Moisture Mozzarella Cheese
Good

Whole milk mozzarella cheese is a source of high-quality protein and calcium. It is made from pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, and enzymes, which are traditional cheese-making ingredients. This cheese provides essential nutrients and is minimally processed compared to other ultra-processed foods.

Benefits

Rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. Contains beneficial fats and nutrients from whole milk.

Modified Cornstarch
Neutral

Modified cornstarch is used as an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping in cheese products. It is a processed carbohydrate derived from corn, which undergoes chemical modification to enhance its properties. While it serves a functional purpose, it does not provide significant nutritional benefits.

Natamycin
Neutral

Natamycin is a natural mold inhibitor used to extend the shelf life of cheese products. It is a polyene antifungal compound produced by fermentation and is considered safe for consumption in small quantities. While it effectively prevents spoilage, it does not contribute to the nutritional profile of the product.

Benefits

Helps prevent mold growth, extending the product's shelf life without affecting its flavor or nutritional content.
