Cheddar Style Shreds, 7.1 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this in the refrigerated plant‑based cheese section or reached for when topping dairy‑free pizza, tacos, or a nostalgic mac-and-cheese swap. It gives an indulgent, melty comfort-food vibe with a health-conscious marketing angle, but the long list of starches, refined oils, gums and flavorings reveals an industrially formulated product. Those ingredients and additives are what create the smooth, stretchy texture and consistent melt typical of ultra‑processed cheese alternatives.
