Many people believe that it is mold (harmless or otherwise), but unless it is fuzzy, it is probably calcium lactate crystalizing on the surface. Calcium lactate is something that is found naturally in cheese, and as the cheese loses moisture in the fridge, the calcium lactate can no longer remain disolved and thus forms white crystals on the surface. Some aged cheeses such as parmesan often have calcium lactate crystals on them even when they are sold. It is not harmful at all, but you can still cut it off it you want.

∙ 11y agoPowdered cellulose is a white, odorless, tasteless, totally natural powder made from cellulose, a naturally occurring component of most plants. It won't absorb moisture because of its fibrous, non-gel structure. When added to shredded cheese, cellulose prevents the cheese from sticking together. This anti-caking agent helps ensure cheese is easier for consumers to use.
