Eerie grated cheese that will not melt on a jacket potato

I bought Sainsbury's Grated Four Cheese Mix to grace a jacket potato. Imagine my surprise and shock when the cheese resolutely refused to melt gracefully and just sat there, colourfully. I squished some of it into the hot potato with a fork but the cheese still refused to soften.

This country is going to the dogs. Agree?

YABU to buy pre-grated cheese - it is treated with some kind of anti-caking agent to stop it clumping together in the pack. That's why it won't melt into anything satisfyingly oozy and stringy. Grate your own cheese in future.

Pre grated cheese has a coating on it that stops it clumping together depending on the coating sometimes it also stops it melting well.
