About BLUE CHEESE CRUMBLES, BLUE CHEESE
Market Pantry Blue Cheese Crumbles is a pre-crumbled blue cheese product from Target's value-tier Market Pantry private-label brand, using a formulation that includes natamycin as a mold inhibitor in addition to powdered cellulose as an anti-caking agent. The inclusion of natamycin — a natural antimicrobial antifungal agent derived from Streptomyces natalensis — is a common practice in pre-crumbled and shredded cheese products to inhibit surface mold growth and extend refrigerated shelf life.
The ingredient list contains blue cheese (pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes), powdered cellulose for anti-caking, and natamycin as a mold inhibitor. The cheese cultures listed here differ slightly from the specific Penicillium roqueforti designation used in Good and Gather entries, though cheese cultures in blue cheese production inherently include Penicillium mold. The use of pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, and enzymes is the standard commercial blue cheese composition. Allergen: dairy.
Nutritionally, 100 grams provides 357 calories, 21.43 grams of protein, 3.57 grams of carbohydrates, 28.57 grams of fat, and 3.6 grams of fiber. The protein value of 21.43g/100g is higher than the 17.86g reported in most Good and Gather entries, suggesting a different moisture level or aging period producing a more concentrated protein cheese. Suitable for low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. Not suitable for dairy allergy sufferers.
