About EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR SHREDDED CHEESE, EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR
Meijer Extra Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese is a pre-shredded, natural aged cheddar cheese sold under the Meijer private label at Meijer supercenter stores across the Midwest. Shredded cheese formats offer convenience for cooking applications such as topping casseroles, pizzas, tacos, and baked potatoes.
Beyond the core cheddar ingredients — cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, and color added — this shredded variety includes anticaking agents: potato starch and powdered cellulose. These ingredients prevent shreds from clumping together during storage. Natamycin, a naturally occurring antifungal compound derived from Streptomyces natalensis fermentation, is added as a mold inhibitor on the shred surfaces. Natamycin is widely used in the dairy industry and is considered a natural preservative. The label notes it as "a natural mold inhibitor."
Nutritionally, 100g delivers 393 calories with 32.1g fat, 25g protein, and 0g carbohydrates. Fiber is absent. The profile mirrors block cheddar of equivalent age, though the anticaking agents add minimal caloric contribution. The 28g serving size is standard for shredded cheese portions.
This product contains dairy and is not suitable for those with milk allergies or vegans. The addition of potato starch means individuals with potato sensitivities should note its presence, though it is used in trace quantities. Powdered cellulose is derived from wood pulp and is considered safe by the FDA; it contributes negligible nutrition. Gluten-free based on listed ingredients. Best used as a melting or topping cheese in everyday cooking.
