Brie Cheese Product

Brie is a soft cow's milk cheese originating from France. It is made by coagulating milk with rennet, then draining the whey and aging the cheese for several weeks. During aging, a white, bloomy rind of Penicillium candidum mold develops.

Brie is often used as a table cheese, served on crackers or bread. In packaged foods, it adds a creamy texture and rich, mild flavor. It is frequently found in appetizers, frozen entrees, and stuffed poultry products.

Brie is a dairy product and a source of protein and calcium. Like other cheeses, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The FDA considers cheese a food, and no specific regulatory limits are set for its consumption. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various cheese components but not brie itself as a distinct food additive. High intake of saturated fat and sodium can be associated with health concerns, according to dietary guidelines.
