Cheddar And Jack Cheese Milk

This ingredient is a blend of two popular cheeses: cheddar and Monterey Jack. Both are semi-hard cheeses made from cow's milk. They are typically produced by culturing milk, adding rennet to coagulate it, then separating the curds and whey, and finally aging the curds.

Manufacturers use cheddar and jack cheese milk as a primary flavoring and textural component in a wide variety of savory foods. It provides a rich, cheesy taste and contributes to the creamy or gooey texture in dishes like frozen appetizers, dinners, wraps, and burritos.

Cheddar and jack cheese are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. While generally considered safe, some individuals may be sensitive to lactose or dairy proteins. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated dairy products extensively, but specific evaluations for this cheese blend are not typically highlighted.
