Health notes
Mozzarella cheese substitute is generally considered safe for consumption by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual ingredients used in these substitutes. Evidence regarding the health effects of consuming these substitutes at typical intake levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential impacts related to saturated fat content, while others find no significant adverse effects. More research is needed to fully understand the long-term health implications.
