About 0% FAT FREE SMALL CURD MILKFAT COTTAGE CHEESE
ShopRite 0% Fat Free Small Curd Milkfat Cottage Cheese is a nonfat cottage cheese from the ShopRite store brand under Wakefern Food Corporation, with the milkfat descriptor in the product name indicating that the product contains no milkfat rather than a specific amount. This naming convention is sometimes used to distinguish fat-free products in categories where partial fat content is more common, clarifying to consumers that this version contains zero milkfat. The formulation is essentially identical to the plain ShopRite fat-free small curd cottage cheese, using cultured nonfat milk with a complex stabilizer system including maltodextrin, guar gum, citric acid, carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, and locust bean gum.
Artificial color is included in this formulation to produce a brighter white appearance, compensating for the lack of fat globules that give whole-milk cottage cheese its characteristic creamy white opacity. Potassium sorbate and carbon dioxide packaging extend the refrigerated shelf life by inhibiting yeast and mold growth. Natural and artificial flavor components augment the mild, slightly tangy flavor of the cultured nonfat milk base. The small curd format produces uniformly small curds throughout the product, preferred for applications like cooking, baking, and blending compared to the larger, more distinct curds of large curd formats. ShopRite is primarily a northeastern US grocery brand distributed through the Wakefern cooperative retail network.
