What it is
Mild cheddar cheese is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced by curdling milk with rennet and then aging the curds for a short period, typically 1 to 3 months, resulting in a milder flavor and softer texture than aged cheddar.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add mild cheddar cheese for its savory, tangy flavor and its ability to melt well. It is commonly used in frozen appetizers, pasta dishes, casseroles, and as a topping for baked goods and snacks.
Health notes
Mild cheddar cheese is a natural food product and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cheese, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also assesses food ingredients. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Mild cheddar cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
