Shredded Monterey Jack & Cheddar, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this 8 oz bag in the refrigerated cheese section — the kind of staple you toss into your cart for shredded-topping convenience. It feels practical and a little indulgent (think quick nachos or gooey grilled cheese), and the inclusion of powdered cellulose for anti-caking and the pre-shredded texture point to modest processing rather than a purely whole-food 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.
