What it is
Organic Cheese Powder is made from real cheese that has been dehydrated. The cheese is typically spray-dried or freeze-dried to remove moisture, resulting in a fine powder. This process concentrates the cheese flavor and extends shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic cheese powder to provide a concentrated cheese flavor and aroma to foods. It is often used in snack foods like popcorn and chips, as well as in frozen meals, sauces, and baked goods. Its powder form makes it easy to incorporate into dry mixes.
Health notes
Organic Cheese Powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but specific evaluations for 'organic cheese powder' as a distinct additive are not typically listed. At typical consumption levels, it poses no known health risks.
Allergen info
Organic Cheese Powder is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
