About FAT FREE SMALL CURD COTTAGE CHEESE
Meijer Fat Free Small Curd Cottage Cheese is a low-calorie dairy product sold under the Meijer private label. Small curd cottage cheese is made from cultured pasteurized skim milk and is characterized by its smaller, tender curd pieces compared to large curd varieties. The fat-free formulation removes the cream dressing typically added to cottage cheese, replacing it with a more complex stabilizer system.
Ingredients include cultured pasteurized Grade A skim milk and Grade A whey as the dairy base. To replicate the texture and richness of full-fat cottage cheese, this formulation employs several functional ingredients: maltodextrin, nonfat dry milk, guar gum, carrageenan, locust bean gum, polysorbate 80, and mono and diglycerides. Artificial color is present, likely to achieve a uniform white appearance. Natural and artificial flavors provide dairy-like taste cues. Citric acid, lactic acid, and phosphoric acid manage pH and curd consistency. Potassium sorbate is a preservative. Vitamins A palmitate and D3 are added back to replace fat-soluble vitamins lost during fat removal.
This product contains dairy and eggs (via the trace mono and diglycerides which may be animal-derived) and is not suitable for dairy or egg allergies or vegans. The presence of artificial color and artificial flavors distinguishes this from simpler fat-free cottage cheese formulations.
Per 100g: 71 calories, 10.6g protein, 7.1g carbohydrates, 0g fat, 0g fiber. High protein density for a low-calorie food. The 113g serving is a standard half-cup portion. Suitable for high-protein, low-fat dietary patterns.
