Cheese/Cheese Substitutes: Nutrition Facts and Calories

This category includes a variety of dairy and plant-based products, from natural cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella to processed cheese products and cheese substitutes. Natural cheeses are made from milk, cultures, enzymes, and salt. Processed cheeses often combine natural cheese with other dairy ingredients, emulsifiers, and flavorings for a consistent texture and melt. Cheese substitutes are typically plant-based, using ingredients like nuts, soy, or starches to mimic cheese. When choosing, check the Nutrition Facts label. Sodium can vary widely; the FDA recommends a Daily Value of 2,300 milligrams for adults. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) suggest limiting saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories. While most cheeses naturally contain little to no added sugars, some processed varieties or substitutes might. The DGA recommends no amount of added sugars. Review the ingredient list to understand if a product is primarily natural cheese, a blend, or a plant-based alternative. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
