About EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR SHREDDED CHEESE, EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR
Great Value Extra Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese is a pre-shredded version of Walmart's extra sharp cheddar, made for direct use in cooking, topping, and baking applications where the convenience of pre-shredded cheese saves preparation time. Shredded cheese requires an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping; this formula uses a blend of potato starch and tapioca starch for that purpose, along with natamycin (a natural yeast and mold inhibitor derived from Streptomyces natalensis fermentation) to extend shelf life.
The starch-based anti-caking blend in this product is preferable for melting applications compared to cellulose (powdered wood fiber) anti-caking agents used in some shredded cheeses, as starch interferes less with melt behavior. Natamycin is widely recognized as a clean-label alternative to synthetic mold inhibitors. The underlying cheddar is the same formulation: pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, and annatto color. Milk is the sole allergen.
Per 28 g serving: 393 calories per 100 g, 21.4 g protein, 7.1 g carbohydrates (higher than block due to the added starches), and 32.1 g fat. The additional carbohydrates from the starch coating are minor but meaningful for strict low-carb dieters who should factor them in. This shredded cheddar is ideal for tacos, quesadillas, baked potatoes, nachos, casseroles, and mac and cheese.
