What it is

Reduced fat reduced sodium mozzarella cheese is a type of mozzarella cheese that has had a portion of its fat and sodium removed during processing. It is made from cow's milk, similar to traditional mozzarella, but undergoes additional steps to lower its fat and salt content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use this cheese to provide a cheesy flavor and texture in foods while offering a lower-fat and lower-sodium alternative to regular mozzarella. It is commonly found in frozen pizzas, pre-made meals, and other convenience foods where reduced fat and sodium are desired.

Health notes

Reduced fat reduced sodium mozzarella cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. Like all dairy products, it contains calcium and protein. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for this type of cheese, but moderation is advised as part of a balanced diet. JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) has evaluated cheese and its components.
