About COLBY & MONTEREY JACK CHEESE, COLBY & MONTEREY JACK
Member's Mark Colby and Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese in this database entry uses a slightly different anti-caking system than some other Member's Mark shredded variants, combining cultured pasteurized milk with potato starch, tapioca starch, and natamycin as the free-flow and preservation additives. The dual-starch system — potato starch providing primary clump prevention and tapioca starch supplementing as needed — is a common formulation choice in premium shredded cheeses where manufacturers seek to minimize cellulose content, as powdered cellulose is associated with a less-clean ingredient perception among health-aware shoppers.
Natamycin, a polycyclic macrolide antifungal produced via natural fermentation, is used at the surface of the shreds to prevent mold formation during refrigerated shelf life. It is not absorbed into the cheese itself in meaningful quantities and is widely accepted in natural and clean-label contexts. The base cheese — pasteurized milk, cultures, salt, enzymes, annatto — matches other Member's Mark Colby Jack entries.
Nutritionally, the shredded format is equivalent per gram to block Colby Jack, with the anti-caking additives contributing negligible calories.
