the FDA said its testing discovered that some dairy products labeled “100% Parmesan” contained polymers and wood pulp.

Oh good grief, the wood pulp (sometimes labeled as cellulose) is usually listed on the ingredients list. It is NOT being added to save money on cheese. It is added to keep the cheese from clumping. Shall I turn in my friends who put rice in the salt shakers?! Get whole Parmesan and grate it yourself or get the store brand at the Italian delicatessen if you get worked up about it.

Scare article for the most part.

I actually prefer the grated parmesan cheese than the chunk type you grate yourself....the shaker type parmesan has a salty taste and its great when mixed into salads....
