What it is

Shredded mozzarella cheese is a semi-soft, white cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced by heating milk, adding rennet to coagulate it, and then stretching and kneading the curd in hot water until it becomes elastic. The cheese is then cooled, cut, and often shredded for convenience.

Why it's used

Mozzarella is primarily used for its mild, milky flavor and excellent melting properties. It is a popular topping for pizzas, baked pasta dishes, and casseroles. Shredded mozzarella is also found in frozen appetizers, sandwiches, and salads.

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption of mozzarella as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
