About COLBY JACK CHEESE
Market Pantry Colby Jack Cheese is a natural American blend cheese from Target's Market Pantry entry-level private label, combining reduced-fat Colby and Monterey Jack varieties produced from pasteurized part-skim milk. The ingredient list — pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, annatto color, and vitamin A palmitate — indicates this is a reduced-fat formulation rather than a full-fat Colby Jack, despite the name not specifying 'reduced fat.' The part-skim milk base reduces the caloric and fat density below full-fat Colby Jack norms, while the added vitamin A palmitate compensates for the reduced fat-soluble vitamin A content.
At 321 calories per 100 grams with 28.57g of protein, 21.43g of fat, and 3.57g of carbohydrates per 100g, this product reports one of the highest protein-per-calorie ratios among the Market Pantry Colby Jack range, consistent with part-skim formulations where protein concentration rises as fat is reduced. Each 28-gram serving provides approximately 90 calories and 8g of protein.
Allergens: dairy (milk). Free from gluten, soy, and eggs. The absence of the 'reduced fat' label descriptor in the product name while using part-skim milk is a common practice in private label cheese products; the USDA data confirms the formulation through the ingredient panel. This cheese is versatile in both snacking and cooking contexts, offering a lighter-fat option without sacrificing natural cheese flavor or the mild, creamy character of the Colby-Jack blend. It works well across sandwich, melting, snacking, and entertaining applications.
