What it is

Cheddar and semisoft cheeses are dairy products made from milk. They are produced by coagulating milk, separating the curds from the whey, and then pressing and aging the curds. Cheddar is a firm, often sharp-tasting cheese, while semisoft cheeses have a softer texture and milder flavor.

Why it's used

These cheeses are added to packaged foods to provide flavor, texture, and nutritional value. They are commonly found in prepared soups, sauces, spreads, dips, and as a primary ingredient in cheese-based products.

Health notes

Cheese is a food product regulated by the FDA, which sets standards of identity for various types of cheese. As a dairy product, cheese contains protein, calcium, and fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like cheese.

Allergen info

This ingredient contains milk, which is one of the 9 major food allergens identified by the FDA.
