What it is

Cheddar cheese powder blend is a dehydrated product made from real cheddar cheese. The cheese is typically spray-dried or freeze-dried to create a fine powder that retains its cheesy flavor and color. This process allows for a longer shelf life and easier incorporation into various food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cheddar cheese powder blend to impart a savory, cheesy flavor to foods without the moisture and texture of liquid cheese. It's commonly found in snack foods like chips, crackers, and snack mixes, as well as in sauces, dips, and seasoning blends.

Health notes

Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Cheddar cheese powder blend is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
