What it is

Reduced fat mozzarella cheese is a dairy product made from cow's milk. It is produced similarly to regular mozzarella but with a lower fat content, typically achieved by skimming fat from the milk before cheesemaking or by removing fat from the curd.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use reduced fat mozzarella for its mild, milky flavor and its characteristic stretchy texture when melted. It is commonly found in pizzas, lasagna, baked pasta dishes, and frozen appetizers, offering a lighter alternative to full-fat cheese.

Health notes

Reduced fat mozzarella cheese is a source of protein and calcium. The FDA considers it a safe food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, generally recognizing them as safe for consumption within a balanced diet. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming reduced fat mozzarella at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Reduced fat mozzarella cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
