Shredded 4 Cheese Blend

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Kirkland Signature Shredded 4 Cheese Blend scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 23g protein and 0g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Kirkland Signature Shredded 4 Cheese Blend lists 24 ingredients, starting with Queso Monterey Jack, Leche Entera Pasteurizada de Vaca Cultivo Lactico, Sal, Enzimas and Queso Cheddar Semi-maduro. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

378 kcal per serving, or 378 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kirkland Signature Shredded 4 Cheese Blend on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
