Because they advertised it as "100% cheese". It's a fine for misleading advertising, not for putting wood pulp in the cheese.

  Edit: as pointed out below, I misunderstood. It was not actually parmesan, but it did have cheese. From the Bloomberg article: > Instead, there was a mixture of Swiss, mozzarella, white cheddar and cellulose, according to the FDA. My original comment preserved for history: > It's worse than that: that company advertised it as 100% cheese and it was actually 0% cheese. Not just that it had additives, it wasn't cheese at all.

    It's not that it wasn't cheese, it's that it was entirely cheese that wasn't parmesan.
