What it is

Part skim cheese is a type of cheese made from cow's milk where some of the fat has been removed. This process results in a cheese with a lower fat content compared to whole milk cheese. It is a common ingredient in many dairy products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use part skim cheese for its mild flavor and good melting properties. It is frequently found in pizzas, lasagna, and other baked pasta dishes, as well as in cheese spreads and processed cheese products.

Health notes

Part skim cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese products, and they are considered a normal part of a balanced diet. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Part skim cheese is derived from cow's milk, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
