Why Does This Score Processed?

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

Chemical Preservatives (Natamycin (Natural Mold Inhibitor)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
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.

This product is part of our wider analysis. It features in our Colby Jack vs Cheddar Cheese, American Cheese vs Cheddar, and Velveeta vs Real Cheese comparisons.
