What it is

Cheese is a food made from milk that has been curdled and processed. It is produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulating the milk protein casein. Cheese can be made from the milk of cows, goats, sheep, and other mammals.

Why it's used

Cheese is used as a primary ingredient in many dishes and as a topping or flavor enhancer. Its rich flavor and creamy texture make it popular in pasta dishes, sandwiches, pizzas, and as a snack.

Health notes

Cheese is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. The FDA considers cheese to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Some cheeses are high in saturated fat and sodium, which are linked to health concerns when consumed in excess.

Allergen info

Cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless added during processing.
