What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated cheese aisle or on a charcuterie/meal-prep shelf — an easy grab for salads, pizzas, or snack plates. It reads artisanal and indulgent (goat cheese vibe) but is also convenient because it's pre-shredded. The shredded texture and the added powdered cellulose (an anti-caking agent) indicate light industrial processing to improve handling and shelf stability, more characteristic of a processed cheese product than a heavily ultra-processed item.

Processed Food
