What You Should Know

You'd find this pre-sliced sharp cheddar in the cheese aisle or deli case—handy for sandwiches, lunchboxes, or a simple cheese board. It feels comforting and slightly nostalgic, calling to mind grilled cheese and easy family meals. The short ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, microbial enzymes, annatto) and the ready-to-use slicing suggest traditional cheese-making with light industrial processing for convenience rather than heavy reformulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed (NOVA 3) food: milk has been pasteurized and cultured, with added salt, microbial enzymes and annatto. The ingredients are simple and there are no emulsifiers or long lists of industrial additives that would indicate ultra-processing (NOVA 4), though pre-slicing/packaging adds convenience.
