Summary
This grated Parmesan cheese is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score despite having a decent protein content. The inclusion of powdered cellulose and potassium sorbate as additives contributes to its processing level, with the former used as an anti-caking agent and the latter as a preservative. These additives, while generally safe, do not add nutritional value and reflect a higher level of processing compared to traditional cheese.
