About CHEDDAR & MONTEREY JACK CHEESE
Meijer Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheese is a pre-shredded natural cheese blend sold under the Meijer private-label brand at Meijer supercenter stores in the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This two-cheese blend combines the sharp, slightly tangy flavor of cheddar with the mild, buttery character of Monterey Jack, a combination widely used in American cooking for nachos, quesadillas, casseroles, and sandwiches.
Cheddar cheese is made from cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, and annatto color (a natural orange-red pigment from achiote seeds, Bixa orellana, used to achieve the characteristic orange color of cheddar). Monterey Jack cheese is made from cultured pasteurized milk, salt, and enzymes — without the annatto colorant, as Monterey Jack is traditionally white. The ingredient list is notably minimal, containing only the two cheeses with no anti-caking agents, preservatives, or starches listed. This may indicate a block cheese product sold as a pre-shredded blend with minimal processing additives.
Per 100 grams, this cheese blend provides 393 calories, 25 g of protein, 3.57 g of carbohydrates, 32.14 g of fat, and no fiber. The protein content is very high, the carbohydrate content is very low, and the fat content is high — typical of full-fat natural cheese products. Allergens are exclusively dairy (both cheeses are milk-derived). No wheat, eggs, soy, tree nuts, or peanuts are listed. Suitable for low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. Not suitable for vegans, dairy-free individuals, or those with lactose intolerance (though aged cheddar generally contains very low lactose).
