What it is

This ingredient is not a single substance but a category for various ingredients that are not typically found in traditional mozzarella cheese. These can include starches, gums, or other stabilizers used to improve texture, shelf life, or processing characteristics of cheese products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add these ingredients to modify the texture, prevent moisture loss, or enhance the meltability of cheese products, especially in processed or low-moisture varieties. They are commonly found in processed cheese, cheese spreads, and some frozen cheese-based products.

Health notes

Ingredients listed under this category are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of these individual ingredients. The health effects of these ingredients at typical intake levels are considered safe by most regulatory agencies. Evidence regarding their impact on health is generally considered mixed or inconclusive for specific ingredients, but they are not typically associated with significant health concerns at the levels used in food.

Allergen info

This category itself is not a major allergen. However, specific ingredients within this category could be derived from major allergens like milk, soy, or wheat. Consumers should check the full ingredient list for specific allergen information.
