About CHIVE & ONION CREAM CHEESE SPREAD, CHIVE & ONION

Meijer Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread is a flavored soft cream cheese product sold under the Meijer private-label brand of Meijer, Inc., a Midwest US supercenter chain headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product belongs to the cheese category and follows the classic whipped cream cheese spread format, flavored with chives and onion for use as a bagel spread, cracker topping, or dip base.

The primary ingredients are pasteurized milk and cream, followed by water and salt. Cheese culture and lactic acid establish the traditional cream cheese fermentation profile. Chives and onions are listed with an asterisk, which typically indicates a percentage statement elsewhere on the packaging. The stabilizer system uses guar gum, carob bean gum, and xanthan gum, which are standard polysaccharide thickeners used in soft cream cheese products to maintain spreadable texture without high gum concentrations. Natamycin, noted as a natural mold inhibitor, is a polyene antifungal commonly used in dairy products to extend shelf life without chemical preservatives. Natural flavor rounds out the seasoning.

Allergens include milk. No wheat, egg, soy, or nut ingredients are declared, making this potentially suitable for those avoiding those allergens. The product is not vegan or lactose-free. Per 100 grams, this spread provides 258 calories, 3.23 grams of protein, 3.23 grams of carbohydrates, and 25.81 grams of fat, with no dietary fiber. The calorie density is high and the fat content is dominant, consistent with a full-fat cream cheese product. The low carbohydrate content makes this suitable for low-carb dietary patterns. The product contains no declared added sugars.
