There's nothing at all wrong with microcrystalline cellulose, except
that it gives the pre-shredded bags of cheese a less than ideal
mouthfeel if eaten unmelted. One of the nice things about Del Taco is
that they grate their cheese freshly, in-store, so no microcrystalline
cellulose. I miss Del Taco since the franchise here folded two weeks
ago.
