About COTTAGE CHEESE
Kroger Cottage Cheese is a cultured dairy product sold under the standard Kroger private label. Cottage cheese is a fresh, unaged cheese made from curded cultured skim milk with cream added for the creamed variety, characterized by a mild flavor and soft, moist curd texture. This formulation includes multiple stabilizers and a preservative, consistent with extended shelf-life commercial cottage cheese production.
The primary ingredients are cultured skim milk, cultured cream, and whey. Additional components include salt, potassium chloride (a partial sodium substitute), maltodextrin, citric acid, carrageenan, guar gum, and locust bean gum as stabilizers. Cultured dextrose is included as a natural antimicrobial agent, and sorbic acid (to maintain freshness) is an additional preservative. Natural flavors round out the formulation. The sole allergen is milk. No wheat, soy, egg, or other allergens are declared.
