Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Taco Cheeses scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Chemical Preservatives (Natamycin (A Natural Mold Inhibitor)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Colby Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes, Annatto (Vegetable Color)], Cheddar Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes, Annatto (Vegetable Color)]): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Potato Starch And Powdered Cellulose (To Prevent Caking)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
