Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Sharp Cheddar-Style Shreds scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Casein (Milk Protein)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 94% 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.
