About FAT FREE SMALL CURD COTTAGE CHEESE
Market Pantry Fat Free Small Curd Cottage Cheese (this SKU variant) shares the same core formulation as the other Market Pantry fat-free cottage cheese entry, based on cultured pasteurized nonfat milk and whey, with stabilizers and texturizers including modified corn starch, carob bean gum, guar gum, and carrageenan. This version additionally includes potassium chloride (a sodium substitute used to manage saltiness without increasing sodium content) and sodium gluconate (a flavor enhancer and stabilizer), and lists phosphoric acid and lactic acid among the acidulants. Carbohydrates are reported as 5.31g per 100g in this SKU versus 6.19g in the other, a minor difference likely reflecting testing variability.
The use of multiple hydrocolloid gums (carob bean gum, guar gum, carrageenan) is a common approach in fat-free dairy products to restore the creamy body that fat would naturally provide. Tricalcium phosphate adds calcium and also contributes to texture. Vitamin A palmitate is added back since fat-soluble vitamins are removed with the cream fraction.
At 62 calories per 100g with 10.62g of protein and zero fat, this is an extremely lean, high-protein dairy food. No gluten or soy is present as a standalone ingredient. Dairy allergens (milk, whey) are present throughout.
This product is nutritionally equivalent to the other Market Pantry fat-free cottage cheese SKU and suitable for the same range of applications: breakfast bowls, snacking with fresh or frozen fruit, protein additions to smoothies, and substitution for higher-fat cheeses in baking. The small curd format is preferred by many for its uniform texture in cooked applications.
