What it is

Rehydrated mozzarella cheese is a form of mozzarella cheese that has had water added back into it. Mozzarella cheese is a semi-soft, white cheese made from cow's milk or buffalo milk using the pasta filata method, where the curds are heated and stretched.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use rehydrated mozzarella cheese to provide a cheesy flavor and texture in a more convenient, shelf-stable form. It is often found in frozen pizzas, savory snacks, and baked goods where it contributes to taste and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Rehydrated mozzarella cheese is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and calcium. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products generally, but specific evaluations of 'rehydrated mozzarella cheese' as a distinct ingredient are not typically found. As with all dairy, intake should be considered within the context of overall dietary patterns.

Allergen info

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