Summary

This mozzarella cheese is made from pasteurized part-skim milk, which provides essential nutrients like calcium and protein. However, the presence of modified cornstarch as an anti-caking agent introduces additional processing, slightly impacting the natural texture of the cheese. Despite being processed, the product maintains a relatively clean ingredient list with minimal additives.
