Why Does This Score Processed?
In our analysis, Super Sharp Cheddar Pasteurized Process Cheese Slices, Super Sharp Cheddar scores Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Sodium Polyphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Cheese, this is among the less processed of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
