What it is

Mozzarella pearls are small, round, bite-sized pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese. Mozzarella is a soft, unripened cheese traditionally made from water buffalo milk, but commonly made from cow's milk in the United States. It is produced by heating milk, adding rennet to form curds, and then stretching and kneading the curds to achieve its characteristic elastic texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mozzarella pearls to products for their mild, milky flavor and soft, chewy texture. They are frequently used in salads, pasta dishes, and appetizers, offering a creamy dairy component that complements other ingredients.

Health notes

Mozzarella cheese is regulated by the FDA as a food product. It is a source of protein and calcium. As a food, it does not have an ADI set by JECFA or EFSA, nor is it subject to additive approval processes like GRAS. There are no notable controversies regarding mozzarella pearls themselves, beyond general dietary considerations for dairy products.

Allergen info

Mozzarella pearls are derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
