Cheddar Style Shreds, 7.1 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these plant-based cheddar-style shreds in the refrigerated vegan/dairy-alternative section, pulled out for topping pizzas, tacos, or a quick mac-and-cheese. They give a nostalgic, indulgent comfort-food vibe while marketed as a dairy-free alternative. The long list of starches, refined oils, protein concentrates and texture-stabilizing additives signals an engineered product focused on melt and mouthfeel, typical of ultra-processed foods.
