About FINELY SHARP SHREDDED CHEDDAR
Kroger Finely Sharp Shredded Cheddar is a pre-shredded natural cheddar cheese product sold under The Kroger Co.'s core Kroger private-label line. Sharp cheddar is aged for a period long enough to develop a notable tang and firmer body compared to mild cheddar, though less intensely flavored than extra sharp. The finely shredded cut provides smaller cheese strands suited to melting evenly on pizzas, nachos, casseroles, and baked dishes.
The cheese base is pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, and enzymes — a standard natural cheddar formulation. Annatto provides the characteristic orange-yellow color. An anti-caking system of potato starch, corn starch, dextrose, and calcium sulfate is applied to the shredded surface to prevent clumping and extend refrigerated shelf life; this system is standard across the commercial shredded cheese category. Natamycin, a naturally derived antifungal compound produced by the bacterium Streptomyces natalensis, is used as a mold inhibitor on the surface of shredded cheese and is recognized as a natural preservative by FDA. Its use is declared as a natural mold inhibitor per standard practice.
Nutritionally, this shredded cheddar provides 393 calories per 100 grams with 32.14 grams of fat, 25 grams of protein, 3.57 grams of carbohydrates, and 0 grams of fiber. A standard 28-gram serving delivers approximately 110 calories. Allergen note: contains milk. Not suitable for vegan, dairy-free, or lactose-intolerant consumers.
