365 by Whole Foods Market, Non-Dairy Parmesan Style Shreds, 5 Ounce
What You Should Know
You'd find this non-dairy parmesan-style shred in the refrigerated vegan/dairy-alternative section or grabbed quickly while stocking up for pasta, pizza, or salad toppings. It reads as a convenient, slightly indulgent substitute for grated cheese — aimed at plant-based or dairy-avoiding shoppers who want familiar textures without dairy. The ingredient list (highly refined coconut oil, multiple modified starches, natural flavors and stabilizers) and uniform shred texture reveal substantial industrial processing typical of ultra-processed foods.
