About KROGER, COTTAGE CHEESE
Kroger Cottage Cheese is a fresh curd-style dairy product sold under the Kroger private label of The Kroger Co., available in the dairy case at Kroger, Harris Teeter, King Soopers, Ralph's, and other banner stores. Cottage cheese is a fresh, unaged cheese known for its mild flavor, creamy texture, and high protein content relative to calories.
Cultured skim milk and cultured cream form the primary dairy base, providing the characteristic mild lactic flavor and a combination of fat-free and fat-containing dairy components. Whey contributes additional dairy protein and liquid. Salt, cultured dairy solids, and cultured dextrose enhance flavor and serve antimicrobial preservation functions. Maltodextrin and sorbic acid support texture and freshness preservation. Citric acid provides pH control. Carrageenan, guar gum, and locust bean gum form a stabilizer system that helps maintain the creamy texture and prevents excessive whey separation during refrigerated storage.
At approximately 97 calories per 100 grams with 10.62 grams of protein, 4.42 grams of carbohydrates, and 4.42 grams of fat, cottage cheese is recognized as a high-protein, moderate-calorie dairy food well suited for weight management and high-protein dietary approaches. Contains dairy allergens throughout. Not appropriate for dairy-free, vegan, or lactose-intolerant consumers. No gluten, soy, egg, or nut allergens are listed.
