        It’s used in shredded cheese as well to prevent the cheese from sticking to itself. It’s also why you don’t really want to use shredded cheese in foods where the cheese needs to properly melt like grilled cheese sandwiches or pizza.

          Cellulose powder is wood pulp. It doesn’t really have nutritional value and is often used in the production of certain medicine types as well, but it is definitely wood.
