What it is

Organic cheese sauce is a creamy sauce made primarily from organic milk, organic cheese, and often organic butter. It is typically produced by heating and blending these ingredients, sometimes with added thickeners or flavorings, to create a smooth, rich sauce.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic cheese sauce to add a cheesy flavor and creamy texture to foods. It is commonly found in convenience meals like macaroni and cheese, frozen dinners, and pasta dishes, enhancing their appeal and taste.

Health notes

Organic cheese sauce ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The nutritional content will vary based on specific ingredients, but it is typically a source of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common cheese sauce ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Organic cheese sauce is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless wheat-based thickeners are added.
