What it is
Cheese is a food product made from milk, typically from cows, but also from goats, sheep, and other mammals. It is produced by curdling milk using rennet and bacterial cultures, separating the curds from the whey, and then pressing and aging the curds. Cheddar, mozzarella, and brie are popular types of cheese, each with distinct flavors and textures.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cheese to foods primarily for its flavor, texture, and melting properties. It is a key ingredient in many dishes, providing richness and savory notes. Cheese is commonly found in frozen dinners, appetizers, sandwiches, and baked goods.
Health notes
Cheese is regulated by the FDA as a food product. It is a natural source of calcium and protein. However, some cheeses can be high in saturated fat and sodium, which are nutrients that the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting. JECFA and EFSA evaluate specific food additives, not whole foods like cheese.
Allergen info
Cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
