About FAT FREE COTTAGE CHEESE
Fred Meyer Fat Free Cottage Cheese is a nonfat cultured dairy product sold under The Kroger Co.'s Fred Meyer regional sub-brand, operated across Fred Meyer stores concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. Cottage cheese is a fresh acid-set cheese made from cultured skim milk curds that are washed and drained but not pressed or aged, resulting in a soft, moist curd product with mild flavor and high protein content.
The primary ingredient is cultured skim milk, establishing the fat-free character. Whey is added back for moisture and nutritional balance. Salt contributes flavor. Modified corn starch and carrageenan serve as thickeners and stabilizers to compensate for the textural deficit of removed milkfat, giving the product a creamier mouthfeel. Cultured dextrose is a fermentation-derived antimicrobial preservative. Titanium dioxide is used as a whitening agent; it provides an opaque white color and is listed as approved for food use in the U.S., though it has faced regulatory scrutiny in the European Union. Guar gum and locust bean gum are additional stabilizers. Sorbic acid is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative. Lactic acid adjusts pH and contributes mild tartness. Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier. Vitamin A palmitate is added as a fat-soluble vitamin supplement, standard for nonfat dairy products.
Nutritionally, this cottage cheese provides 71 calories per 100 grams with 13.27 grams of protein, 4.42 grams of carbohydrates, and 0 grams of fat — making it a high-protein, low-calorie dairy food suitable for weight management and high-protein diets. Allergen note: contains milk.
