Sharp Cheddar Cheese Block — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Sharp Cheddar Cheese Block by Signature Farms MUNCH — score 88/90.

A genuine, traditionally made cheese: cultured milk, salt, enzymes, and a natural annatto color. The four-ingredient list is exactly what real cheddar should be. It is calorie-dense and high in saturated fat and sodium, so it is processed dairy rather than a whole food, but the formula itself is clean.

Why this verdict

• Short, recognizable four-ingredient real-cheese list
• Only additive is annatto, a natural plant-based color
• Good source of protein and calcium from cultured milk
• NOVA 3 processed dairy — clean formula but high in saturated fat and sodium

Ingredients (4)

• Cultured Pasteurized Milk (safe) — The cheese base — milk fermented with cultures. Source of protein and calcium.
• Salt (caution) — Condensed soups run high in sodium per serving once prepared.
• enzymes (safe) — Microbial rennet that coagulates the milk. Standard and harmless; also makes this vegetarian-friendly.
• annatto color (safe) — Plant-based coloring for a warm cream hue.
