Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Product scores Highly 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): 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 78% 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.
