Feta Cheese Powder

Feta cheese powder is a dried form of feta cheese, a brined curd white cheese made from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. The cheese is typically crumbled or ground into a powder for use as a food ingredient.

Manufacturers add feta cheese powder to provide a salty, tangy flavor and cheesy taste to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in seasonings, snack foods, baked goods like breads and croutons, and dips.

Feta cheese powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of calcium and protein. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated feta cheese and its components, but no specific ADI or numeric limits are typically set for cheese powders themselves.
