Summary

This shredded mozzarella cheese is primarily composed of mozzarella, which is a good source of protein and calcium. However, it includes sorbic acid as a preservative and cellulose as an anticaking agent, which are synthetic additives. While these additives are generally safe, they contribute to the product's processing level, limiting its score potential.
