What it is

Mild cheddar is a type of cheese made from cow's milk. It is aged for a shorter period than sharp or extra-sharp cheddar, typically for two to five months. This shorter aging process gives it a milder flavor and a softer texture.

Why it's used

Mild cheddar is a popular cheese used for its mild, slightly tangy flavor and good melting properties. It is often found in processed foods like mac and cheese, frozen dinners, and deli items such as wraps and burritos. It adds a cheesy taste and creamy texture to these products.

Health notes

Mild cheddar is a dairy product and a source of calcium and protein. Like other cheeses, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The FDA considers cheese to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but do not set specific ADIs for naturally occurring components like cheese itself.

Allergen info

Mild cheddar is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
