About GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE, PARMESAN
Kroger Grated Parmesan Cheese is a pre-grated, dry-format Parmesan cheese sold under The Kroger Co.'s Kroger private-label brand in the shelf-stable refrigerated or ambient cheese aisle. This is the classic canister-style grated Parmesan product widely used as a topping for pasta, soups, and salads.
The cheese component is Parmesan made from cultured pasteurized part-skim milk, salt, and enzymes — a standard American-style Parmesan formulation. Powdered cellulose is added as an anti-caking agent to keep the fine grated particles free-flowing and prevent clumping in the canister. Cellulose is a plant-derived fiber used in food processing as an anti-caking agent and is FDA-approved at established use levels; it contributes no meaningful nutrition. Salt is listed as a separate ingredient beyond that in the cheese itself. Potassium sorbate functions as a preservative extending shelf life in the opened product.
Note: the database ingredient declaration has apparent punctuation errors (parentheses missing on the anti-caking note for cellulose and the preservative note for potassium sorbate), suggesting a transcription error in the original submission.
The nutritional data appears anomalous — 400 calories per 100 grams with 40 grams protein and zero fat, which is inconsistent with Parmesan cheese's typical fat content of 28-30 grams per 100 grams. This likely reflects a data entry error in the USDA submission. Per 5-gram serving: typically approximately 20 calories for grated Parmesan.
Allergens: dairy (milk). No wheat, soy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, or sesame. Suitable for vegetarians using vegetarian enzymes; not for vegans.
