What it is

Mozzarella cheese is a semi-soft, unripened cheese that originated in Italy. Traditionally made from the milk of water buffalo, it is now commonly produced from cow's milk. The cheese is made by coagulating milk, cutting the curds, and then heating and stretching them until they are smooth and pliable.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mozzarella cheese primarily for its flavor, texture, and melting properties. It is a popular topping for pizza, a key ingredient in lasagna, and used in various baked dishes and appetizers.

Health notes

Mozzarella cheese is regulated by the FDA as a food product and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed as part of a typical diet. It is a source of protein and calcium, but also contains saturated fat and sodium. As a food, it is not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA in the same way as food additives.

Allergen info

Mozzarella cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
