Health notes
As a food ingredient, cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of calcium and protein. However, aged cheeses can be high in saturated fat and sodium, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) advise limiting saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories, and the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole foods like cheese as food additives.
