What it is

Shredded cheddar cheese is a type of cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. It is produced by coagulating milk proteins, draining the whey, and then aging the curd. The cheese is then shredded for easier use in cooking and as a topping.

Why it's used

Cheddar cheese is primarily used for its flavor and melting properties. It is added to a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, casseroles, sandwiches, and snacks, to enhance taste and texture.

Health notes

Cheddar cheese is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. While it contains saturated fat and sodium, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is not typically associated with adverse health effects for most people. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and its components.

Allergen info

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