About CHEESE CURDS
Meijer Cheese Curds is a fresh dairy product sold under the Meijer private-label brand, part of the cheese product category offered at Meijer supercenter stores throughout the Midwest United States, with the company headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Cheese curds are a byproduct of the cheddar cheesemaking process, formed when milk proteins coagulate and are separated from the whey before pressing.
The ingredient list is minimal and clean: pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, and annatto coloring (the latter listed as present only if the curds are colored). Annatto is a natural colorant and does not introduce synthetic additives. There are no artificial preservatives, flavoring agents, stabilizers, or hydrogenated fats in this product.
From a nutritional standpoint, this item provides 357 calories per 100 grams, with 25g protein, 28.57g fat, 3.57g carbohydrates, and no dietary fiber. The high protein and fat content with minimal carbohydrates makes this product suitable for low-carb, ketogenic, and high-protein dietary approaches. The calorie density is high, consistent with full-fat dairy products. The sole allergen is dairy. Cheese curds are not appropriate for those with lactose intolerance (as they retain some lactose) or milk protein allergies, and are not suitable for vegan diets. Vegetarians consuming dairy products may include this in their diet.
