About COLBY & MONTEREY JACK CHEESE
Member's Mark Colby and Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese is the pre-shredded version of the Member's Mark dual-cheese blend, optimized for convenient direct-to-dish use in hot applications like nachos, tacos, baked dishes, and pasta. Unlike the block version, the shredded format requires anti-caking agents to prevent clumping during storage and distribution. This product uses potato starch, powdered cellulose, and natamycin to achieve free-flowing shreds. Potato starch and powdered cellulose coat the shred surfaces, absorbing surface moisture and physically separating strands. Natamycin is a naturally derived antifungal compound produced by Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, approved for surface use on cheese in the United States to prevent mold growth.
The base cheese composition mirrors the block version — pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, and annatto — maintaining the Colby and Monterey Jack flavor profile. Member's Mark uses potato starch and tapioca starch in some shredded cheese variants, depending on the production period, which may affect consumers with specific starch intolerances, though both are generally well-tolerated.
Nutritionally, shredded Colby Jack delivers the same macronutrient profile as the block format on a per-gram basis, with the anti-caking agents adding negligible calories. The product is allergen-declared for milk only and is free of gluten, eggs, nuts, and other major allergens under FASTER Act 2023. It is suitable for lacto-vegetarian diets. The large Sam's Club format makes it economical for high-volume users such as families, caterers, and foodservice operators seeking consistent melt and mild flavor.
