Restricted Melt Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Restricted Melt Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese is a type of mozzarella cheese made from cow's milk. It contains less water and fat than traditional mozzarella, and it is specially processed to melt in a controlled way. This controlled melt helps the cheese maintain its shape and texture when cooked.

Manufacturers use this cheese for its mild flavor, stringy texture, and specific melting properties. It is particularly useful in frozen and baked dishes like pizzas and appetizers, where the cheese needs to melt without spreading excessively or becoming too oily.

Mozzarella cheese is a common food ingredient generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a dairy product, it provides calcium and protein. The 'part skim' designation means it has less fat than whole milk mozzarella. There are no specific regulatory evaluations by JECFA or EFSA for mozzarella cheese as a food additive.
