About BLUEBERRY & LEMON ZEST CREAM CHEESE SPREAD, BLUEBERRY & LEMON ZEST
Meijer Blueberry and Lemon Zest Cream Cheese Spread is a flavored soft cream cheese product sold under the Meijer private label, designed for spreading on bagels, crackers, and bread. Pasteurized milk and cream form the dairy base of the cream cheese. Sugar is the second ingredient, indicating meaningful added sweetness. Water is third. Cranberries (marked with an asterisk suggesting a dried or modified form) appear as a fruit component alongside blueberries further in the list. Cheese culture enables the characteristic tangy fermentation of cream cheese. Lemon peel provides zest character. Salt seasons the product. Multiple fruit-derived ingredients appear: blueberries, lemon juice concentrate, grape juice concentrate, and blueberry juice concentrate. Guar gum, carob bean gum, and xanthan gum provide structure. Potassium sorbate acts as a preservative. Natural flavor and lemon oil complete the flavoring system.
At 312 calories per 100 grams, this is a calorie-dense spread. Per 100g: 3.12g protein, 18.75g carbohydrates, and 25.0g fat, with no fiber. The fat comes from the milk-and-cream base of cream cheese. The carbohydrate content is higher than plain cream cheese due to added sugar and fruit components. Calorie density is high.
Allergens include dairy (pasteurized milk, cream, cheese culture). Not suitable for vegans. Naturally gluten-free based on declared ingredients. No eggs, wheat, soy, or nuts are listed. Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative. The multiple gum system (guar, carob bean, xanthan) is standard in flavored cream cheese spreads to maintain texture during cold storage. The combination of lemon and blueberry is a classic bakery pairing. This is a refrigerated dairy product available in Meijer's cheese and deli department.
