About COLBY CHEESE, COLBY
Meijer Colby Cheese (fifth USDA entry, annatto color named) is a natural Colby cheese block product sold under the Meijer private label brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This entry explicitly names annatto color as the coloring agent, as opposed to the generic "color added" description used in companion entries, and records a 28-gram serving size.
Ingredients are cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, and annatto color. Annatto is derived from the seeds of the Bixa orellana plant and imparts the orange-yellow hue characteristic of Colby and many cheddar cheeses. It is a natural coloring agent widely used in American cheese production. The minimal four-ingredient list confirms this is natural cheese meeting the FDA standard of identity for Colby cheese. Allergens include milk.
Nutritionally, this entry records 393 calories per 100 grams with 3.57g carbohydrates, 25g protein, and 32.14g fat — consistent with the majority of companion Colby entries at the 28-gram serving size. Fiber is zero. The five separate USDA database entries for Meijer Colby Cheese reflect the common practice of repeated product submissions across different label versions, package sizes, or time periods. The product characteristics are consistent across all variants: full-fat, minimal-additive natural cheese, suitable for low-carbohydrate and gluten-free dietary patterns.
