About KROGER, COWPALS, LIGHT SWISS CHEESE
Kroger Cowpals Light Swiss Cheese is a reduced-fat processed Swiss cheese product sold under the Kroger Cowpals brand, a product of The Kroger Co. targeted at convenient snacking and lunch portions. This product uses a processed cheese formulation based on Swiss cheese components rather than a natural aged Swiss cheese.
Cultured milk and nonfat milk form the primary dairy base. Water and maltodextrin contribute to texture and bulk. Milk protein concentrate adds additional protein. Sodium phosphate and sodium polyphosphate are emulsifying salts standard in processed cheese products that facilitate the smooth, melt-stable texture. Salt, sodium citrate, and natural flavor contribute to the mild, slightly nutty Swiss cheese flavor. Cream adds fat back to counterbalance the lean nonfat milk base. Autolyzed yeast provides savory umami depth common in processed cheese flavors. Calcium propionate is a mold inhibitor preservative. Mono and diglycerides assist emulsification. Enzymes are used in the cheese-making process. Xanthan gum provides texture stability.
At 158 calories per 100 grams with 10.53 grams of protein, 5.26 grams of carbohydrates, 7.89 grams of fat, and 5.3 grams of fiber — the fiber figure of 5.3 grams for a cheese product is unusual and may reflect an error in the USDA data entry — this product is a reduced-fat, higher-protein processed cheese snack. Contains dairy allergens. No gluten, soy, eggs, or nut allergens are listed in the ingredient declaration.
