See Which Pre-Grated Parmesan Cheese Contains a Wood Pulp Additive Filler

When customers buy parmesan cheese they expect it to be 100 percent real cheese. But an Inside Edition investigation has found that is not always the case. Some companies use a filler made from wood pulp in their cheese called cellulose to keep the cheese from caking. The FDA says there should be no more than 2 percent. A sample from Pizza Hut had 4.9 percent cellulose and one at Domino's came in at 5.4 percent. A packet of Colonna brand grated cheese had 21.6 percent cellulose. #InsideEdition

But then again, the FDA says that 2 kit Kat bars is the proper serving size

If it's harmless then why does it matter? I bet wood pulp is healthier than the rest of the fillers we eat.

Ironically when they showed the domino’s cheese packet at 1:56 it said 100% grated parmesan cheese. But if you look at the packet’s ingredients it says cellulose.

At least it has a purpose and is not going to hurt you. I was thinking they were trying to rip us off. Not just do the smart thing and keep it from turning into a solid ball.

[tiweebear]

So? It's still delicious and it's not going to kill me.

[Dralyn]

Is the amount going to kill me? No? Then I will continue eating it.

As much as it is a pain, I personally think grating cheese is a lot of fun, plus it just tastes better xD

[emia]

I don’t get one thing, if FDA doesn’t allow more than 2% cellulose how is it that some companies break that rule?

100% GRATED parmesan cheese...
It's only staying its 100% grated
