What it is
Cheese flavored seasoning is a blend of ingredients designed to impart a cheese-like taste to foods. It typically contains cheese powder (like cheddar or romano), salt, and other flavor enhancers, spices, and sometimes anti-caking agents. The specific composition varies widely by manufacturer.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cheese flavored seasoning to provide a savory, cheesy flavor profile to a variety of snack foods and prepared meals. It is commonly found in potato chips, crackers, popcorn, snack mixes, and some pasta or soup mixes.
Health notes
Cheese flavored seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a complex mixture, and its components are evaluated individually. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the common components used in such seasonings. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of these ingredients.
Allergen info
This seasoning may contain milk if cheese powder is used. It is not derived from the other major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added as a carrier.
