What it is

Organic dried cheddar cheese is a dehydrated form of cheddar cheese. It is made by removing moisture from organic cheddar cheese, which intensifies its flavor and extends its shelf life. This process results in a powdered or granulated product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried cheddar cheese to add a savory, cheesy flavor and texture to various processed foods. It is commonly found in products like macaroni and cheese mixes, flavored popcorn, snack coatings, and dry sauce mixes. Its dry form makes it easy to incorporate and store.

Health notes

As a food ingredient, dried cheddar cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is not considered a food additive and therefore has not been evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA in the same way. For individuals with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance, consuming products with dried cheddar cheese can cause adverse reactions.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
