Breakdown

Processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Kirkland Signature Shredded Mozzarella Cheese scores 37/100 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 1g fiber, 8g 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 Mozzarella Cheese lists 9 ingredients, starting with Low Moisture Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese, Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt and Enzymes. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

86 kcal per serving, or 286 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kirkland Signature Shredded Mozzarella Cheese on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 37/100 Kirkland Signature Shredded Mozzarella Cheese scores worse than most cheese we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Horizon Organic Organic Mozzarella String Cheese at 100/100.
