Shredded Monterey Jack & Cheddar, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
A refrigerated pack from the dairy aisle you’d grab for tacos, casseroles, pizza or a quick weeknight meal — ideal for a no-fuss, melty topping. It reads as practical and comforting with a familiar, nostalgic cheese vibe. The shredded format and use of powdered cellulose to prevent caking reveal light industrial processing to preserve texture, pointing toward a processed (not highly ultra-processed) product.

Common Questions about Shredded Monterey Jack & Cheddar, 8 OZ
Well, that depends on how you define 'healthy'! This blend packs a solid protein punch with 6 grams per serving and is low in sugar, making it a decent option for snacking or adding to meals. However, it does contain some artificial color from annatto, so if you're aiming for a completely clean label, this might not fit the bill.
