All plant matter contains cellulose, WTF do you think your salad is
composed of, eat an apple or your flakey wakies with raisins you're
consuming mostly cellulose, every slice of bread contains cellulose.
I'd much rather a bit of cellulose as an anti-clumping agent than some
chemical I can't even pronounce its name.
Anyways the answer is grate your own cheese, you lazy leroy bastid!.

I do that but from what he said, cheese makers are adding it in the cheese
making process.

No, it says what they process then market as GRATED parmesan has been
adulterated; with cellulose wood pulp to prevent the grated material
clumping; and with cheaper cheeses.

Your reading comprehension skills are appalling. No wonder you're so
gullible.

It was poorly presenting on the news here. They showed a photo of the
whole cheese, not the grated and I never heard the word "grated" in the
presentation. From what I saw, it is easy to draw an incorrect
conclusion. Reading another article it was defined as grated.

It can be in a bag of shredded cheese too. Enlarge to read the
ingredient list. http://i.imgur.com/xDUVmXU.jpg

It was clearly defined as grated in the link being discussed in this
thread

"Bloomberg News tested store-bought grated cheeses for cellulose,
revealing that all of the cheeses tested contained the anti-clumping

Based on my experience of shredding cheese at home, I can see where
something should be added to prevent it from becoming a sticking glob
of cheese rather than shreds. When making a cheese sauce or soup we
use a dusting of flour at times and it doubles as a thickener. Never
thought much about it, but on Locatelli brand Pecorino Romano grated
there are no other ingredients listed. Sheep milk and salt. It is the
only brand we buy if we need a large quantity. Otherwise we grate
from a piece of Parm usually hand carried from Italy.

The news on TV was rather deficient. They named one company, Crown,
that is adding it, perhaps in larger amounts, but they gave the
impression it could be in a wheel of cheese, not just grated. Could
be much ado about nothing.

I think that's the case. Many ingredient lists are pure, all you need
to do is look and if you don't like what you see - don't buy the
product. People are given information, ignore it, and then act like
it's the other guy's fault that they didn't know. You can lead a
horse to water, but...

It's old news anyway. RFC was all atwitter about this subject at
least 5 years ago. Why it's making the rounds again is anybody's
guess. Those who don't want the additives are free to grate their
own, and those who want grated cheese fast will still open a bag.

Concern about cellulose is adolescent misdirection from the real issue
AFAIC. I'm more concerned about what has been completely ignored in
the excitement over cellulose (we're eating wood pulp, woooo): the
practice of substituting less expensive cheeses such as cheddar,
swiss, and mozzarella in bags labeled 100% Parmesan. I buy both
shredded and grated Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheeses (more often, a
combination of them) in tubs from the deli department, and I am
dismayed that there is even a remote possibility they may contain
cheeses that are not listed on the label.

It's a sheeps milk cheese. Sheeps milk and salt are the only
ingredients :-)
