What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the refrigerated cheese section or your fridge when you need a quick topping for pizza, tacos, or a bowl of mac and cheese — the kind of staple pulled out on busy weeknights. It feels practical and slightly indulgent: familiar, convenient convenience-food comfort that’s been mechanically shredded and treated so it pours easily. The inclusion of potato and cornstarch to prevent caking and the pre-shredded format signal extra industrial processing steps (changed texture, anti-caking agents) compared with a block of cheese.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed food: real cheeses (pasteurized, cultured) have been industrially shredded and combined with anti-caking starches. The ingredient list is short and lacks the extensive synthetic additives typical of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods, so it fits NOVA 3.
