Do you know what may lurk in your shredded cheese other than cheese? The answer is powdered cellulose — tiny pieces of wood pulp or other plant fibers.

The cellulose coats the cheese and keeps it from clumping by blocking out moisture. And cellulose is being used increasingly in many processed foods. Companies makers use it to thicken or stabilize foods, replace fat, and cut the need for ingredients like oil or flour, which are getting more expensive.

According to the Wall Street Journal:

“The rising cost of raw materials like flour, sugar and oil is helping boost the popularity of these additives, producers of the ingredients say. Demand for cellulose is also rising because of the growing popularity of processed food products in China, India and other countries … Even organic-food products can contain cellulose. Organic Valley uses powdered cellulose made from wood pulp in its shredded-cheese products.”
