About FAT FREE COTTAGE CHEESE
Kroger Fat Free Cottage Cheese is a nonfat cultured dairy product sold under The Kroger Co.'s flagship Kroger private-label line. The formulation is identical to the Fred Meyer-branded versions of the same product, reflecting Kroger Co.'s standard practice of producing consistent private-label formulations across its regional sub-brands including Kroger, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Ralph's, and Harris Teeter. Cottage cheese is made by acidifying skim milk with bacterial cultures, cutting and heating the curds, then washing and mixing them with a cream dressing; in the fat-free version, the cream dressing is replaced or eliminated.
Ingredients include cultured skim milk, whey, salt, modified corn starch, cultured dextrose, titanium dioxide, guar gum, sorbic acid, locust bean gum, lactic acid, carrageenan, polysorbate 80, and vitamin A palmitate. The combination of modified corn starch, multiple gums, and carrageenan is a standard approach to restoring a creamy mouthfeel in fat-removed dairy products. Titanium dioxide is used as a whitening agent; FDA currently permits its use in food. Sorbic acid and cultured dextrose together provide antimicrobial preservation.
Nutritionally, this product provides 71 calories per 100 grams with 13.27 grams of protein, 4.42 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fat, and no dietary fiber.
