Summary

This grated mozzarella cheese is a processed product with a relatively clean ingredient list, primarily composed of cheese made from pasteurized milk, which is a good source of protein and calcium. However, it contains sorbic acid as a preservative, which is a synthetic additive that may not appeal to those seeking natural products. The presence of an anticaking agent also indicates a moderate level of processing, which impacts the overall score.
