    Because it’s kinda-sorta edible (you won’t die from eating it) and it makes a cheap filler.

      It’s not filler, it’s an anti-clumping agent to make sure your cheap cheese shakes out of the can correctly every time.

        Right. And they use as much “anti-clumping agent” as they think they can get away with.

        It’s filler. Because it’s cheaper than the advertised product.
