365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Shredded Mozzarella Cheese — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Shredded Mozzarella Cheese by 365 by Whole Foods Market OKAY — score 70/90.

This is basically real part-skim mozzarella: organic cultured milk, salt and microbial (vegetarian) enzymes. The one processing tell is powdered cellulose dusted on to keep the shreds from clumping. Buy the block and you skip even that; as pre-shredded cheese goes, this is about as clean as it gets.

Why this verdict

• Organic cultured part-skim milk is the base
• Microbial enzymes mean no animal rennet, so it is vegetarian-friendly
• Powdered cellulose is added purely as an anti-caking agent
• Very high protein (about 28g per 100g), zero sugar
• The NOVA 4 flag is driven only by the cellulose additive, not a chemistry-set formula
