Why Does This Score Processed?

In our analysis, Parmesan Grated Cheese scores Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate To Protect Flavor): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Powdered Cellulose Added To Prevent Caking): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
