If you didn’t have the anti-caking agent, the cheese would just cake up into one solid mass, making the whole “pre-shredded” part literally meaningless…
If you want shredded cheese without anti-caking agents, just shred your own - it’s cheaper, and only requires a grater and a bit of extra time over pre-shredded.
It literally doesn’t. Like yeah, it sticks together into clumps, but you can easily break them back up into shreds with your hands. Source: I’ve worked a bunch of pizza jobs, both on the high and low end. Guess what, it literally is not cheaper to pay the labour for someone on staff to shred it, at least here in Australia where we pay real bloody wages.
Also, to the OP, “pizza mix” cheese usually is your best bet. They’ll sometimes label it as “meltable mix”.
