About FAT FREE COTTAGE CHEESE
Fred Meyer Fat Free Cottage Cheese is a nonfat cultured dairy food sold under The Kroger Co.'s Fred Meyer regional sub-brand. This entry in the USDA database represents an identical formulation to the companion Fred Meyer fat free cottage cheese listing, sharing the same ingredient declaration and nutritional profile. Both are documented separately likely due to different UPC codes, package sizes, or regional distribution variations.
The ingredient profile includes cultured skim milk as the base, whey, salt, modified corn starch, cultured dextrose, titanium dioxide for whitening, guar gum, sorbic acid (preservative), locust bean gum, lactic acid, carrageenan, polysorbate 80 (emulsifier), and vitamin A palmitate. Titanium dioxide is currently approved for food use by the FDA, though its status is subject to ongoing review in international regulatory frameworks. Multiple hydrocolloid stabilizers — guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan — are characteristic of fat-free dairy products, compensating for the creaminess lost when milkfat is removed.
Nutritionally, this product delivers 71 calories per 100 grams with 13.27 grams of protein, 4.42 grams of carbohydrates, and 0 grams of fat. No dietary fiber is present. The high protein-to-calorie ratio makes this a commonly recommended food in sports nutrition, weight loss, and high-protein dietary programs. Each 113-gram serving provides approximately 80 calories and roughly 15 grams of protein, largely as slow-digesting casein. Allergen note: contains milk. Not suitable for dairy-free, lactose-intolerant, or vegan consumers.
