At a glance
Summary
This shredded mozzarella cheese is made from pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese culture, salt, and enzymes, which are beneficial for providing protein and calcium. The product includes an anti-caking blend with natamycin, a synthetic mold inhibitor, which is a point of concern despite being generally recognized as safe. The cheese is moderately processed, which limits its score, but the clean ingredient list and minimal additives contribute positively to its rating.
