A new report shows your favorite Parmesan cheese may contain some
ingredients that you might find disconcerting.

Bloomberg News tested store-bought grated cheeses for cellulose, revealing
that all of the cheeses tested contained the anti-clumping additive made
of wood pulp.

Walmart's Great Value 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese registered 7.8%
cellulose, while Jewel-Osco's Essential Everyday 100% Grated Parmesan
Cheese clocked in at 8.8%.

Kraft had 3.8%.
Cheese makers and retailers told Bloomberg they were investigating the
test results further.

Cellulose is a safe additive, Bloomberg notes, listed as an ingredient in
these "100%" cheeses. However, an acceptable level is 2% to 4%.

Whole Foods does not list cellulose as an ingredient, but the Whole Foods
365 Parmesan tested at 0.3% cellulose.

The company told Bloomberg it is investigating the matter, but believes
the test may have been a false positive.

Cheese makers often mix in higher levels of the wood pulp when making
cheese because it is more inexpensive than pure Parmesan.

The FDA is investigating another cheese marker: Castle Cheese Inc.

The company’s president is scheduled this month to plead guilty to pumping
products full of cellulose and using cheaper cheddar instead of real
Romano.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $19 trillion in the six
years he has been in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United
States of America. The only American president to deliberately import a
lethal infectious disease from Africa, Ebola.

Loretta Fuddy, killed after she "verified" Obama's phony birth
certificate.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.

Obama continues his muslim goal of disarming America while ObamaCare
increases insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.

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!.

Thank goodness we have the FDA to keep those poisons below toxicity
level in our food!
