About FETA CHEESE CRUMBLES, FETA
Good & Gather Feta Cheese Crumbles (powdered cellulose variant) is a pre-crumbled feta from Good & Gather that uses powdered cellulose and natamycin as preservation agents, distinguishing it from the potato starch variant in the same line. Both serve as anti-caking measures, but this version's natamycin addition provides extended mold protection on the cut surfaces of the crumbled cheese — a practical consideration in pre-crumbled formats where more surface area is exposed to potential mold growth.
Natamycin is a natural antifungal peptide considered safe by the FDA and EFSA, derived from Streptomyces natalensis bacteria. It is commonly used in the cheese industry and is applied at very low concentrations. Powdered cellulose, a plant fiber, does not contribute digestible nutrition but may appear in the fiber count (3.6g/100g in this entry reflects the cellulose rather than inherent cheese fiber). The feta itself is made from cultured pasteurized milk, salt, and enzymes (unspecified type).
Nutritionally, this variant shows 286 calories per 100g, 21.43g of fat, 14.29g of protein, and 7.14g of carbohydrates per 100g. The lower protein figure compared to the microbial enzyme SKU (14.29g vs 21.43g) may reflect different milk fat standardization in the production batch. Dairy is the sole allergen; no gluten, eggs, soy, or nuts are present.
These crumbles function identically to other feta crumbles for culinary applications. The Good & Gather brand provides confidence in a cleaner ingredient approach. Best used cold on salads and grain dishes or slightly warmed in baked applications. Not suitable for vegans or dairy-allergic individuals.
