What it is
Blue cheese powder is made from dehydrated blue cheese. Blue cheese itself is a dairy product, typically cow's or sheep's milk, that has been aged with cultures of the mold Penicillium roqueforti. This mold gives the cheese its characteristic blue veins and sharp, tangy flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use blue cheese powder to impart a strong, savory blue cheese flavor to foods without adding moisture. It is often found in snack foods like chips and crackers, as well as in salad dressings, dips, and seasoning blends.
Health notes
Blue cheese powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy products, but specific evaluations for blue cheese powder are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it poses no known health risks.
Allergen info
Blue cheese powder is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
