The FDA has found a prominent cheese company was using wood pulp and other cheeses in their "100% Parmesan cheese," and many other companies reportedly are also adding the chemical to their product.

Among the violations, which were first reported Tuesday by Bloomberg, were that the company was selling "100% Parmesan cheese" that had no actual pParmesan in it.
"Your Parmesan cheese products do not contain any Parmesan cheese," the FDA said in a 2013 letter to the company.
The company supplied mostly imitation cheeses to thousands of grocery stories across the U.S., according to Bloomberg.
So what was in it instead? The cheese was made up of other "trimmings of various cheeses," according to the FDA.

Those cheeses were Swiss, mozzarella, and white cheddar, according to Bloomberg.
