I used to buy Kraft or store brand or such cheese already shredded in the pouch. At the same time I would buy blocks of cheddar and shred my own, but when lazy did buy some already done.
I mentioned I am eating cleaner to a friend and we started talking cheese. Cheese lover here and she said the shredded is packed with fillers and additives....what? I never looked!! I just assumed that cheese was cheese..LOL...sad huh?
Well I compared block cheddar to pre-shredded and the ingredients in pre-shredded is sooooo much longer with junk than the block.
so never, ever, no more pre-shredded for me just cause I guess it is an easy way to cut some additives.
SO what food do you eat that kinda took you by surprise for ick ingredients? I truly am reading the labels now.....never used to but everytime I pick up something I haven't read before or a new product I read the label. Longer shopping time..LOL but worth it!
just chatting away!
