About CHEESE CURDS
Meijer Cheese Curds is a natural cheese product sold under the Meijer private-label store brand, available through Meijer supercenter locations across the Midwest. This product is categorized as a cheese item and represents fresh cheese curds, a minimally processed dairy product made from pasteurized cow's milk early in the cheddar-making process before the curds are pressed into blocks.
The ingredient list is notably simple, containing only pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, and annatto coloring (listed as optional, depending on the batch). Annatto is a natural plant-based colorant derived from achiote seeds and is used to give cheese a characteristic yellow-orange hue. There are no artificial preservatives, added sugars, or hydrogenated oils in this formulation.
Nutritionally, cheese curds are a high-fat, high-protein, very low-carbohydrate food. Per 100 grams, this product provides 357 calories, 25g protein, 28.57g fat, and only 3.57g carbohydrates with no dietary fiber. This macronutrient profile places it in the high calorie-density category. The substantial protein content (25g/100g) makes it a high-protein food, while the near-zero carbohydrate content makes it appropriate for low-carb and ketogenic dietary patterns. Cheese curds are a natural source of calcium and other dairy nutrients. The only allergen present is dairy (milk). The product is suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans, lactose-sensitive individuals, or those with a milk allergy.
