What it is
Cheddar pasteurized prepared cheese product is a food made from cheddar cheese, milk, whey, and other ingredients. It is heated and mixed to create a smooth, uniform texture that is more stable than natural cheese. This process helps prevent the cheese from separating or becoming oily when heated.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add it to processed foods to provide a cheesy flavor and creamy texture. It is often used in crackers, snack packs, and sandwiches because it melts well and holds its shape. It can also be found in sauces, dips, and some baked goods.
Health notes
In the US, this product is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar cheese products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts found in food.
Allergen info
This product contains milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
