About KROGER, CREAM CHEESE
Kroger Cream Cheese is a fresh, soft, unaged cheese product sold under the Kroger private label of The Kroger Co., available at Kroger, Harris Teeter, King Soopers, Ralph's, and other banner stores. This product is positioned as a reduced-fat or light cream cheese variant, based on the use of pasteurized skim milk as the primary dairy component rather than full-fat cream.
The ingredient declaration lists pasteurized skim milk and water as the primary components, supplemented by whey and cream. Lactic acid provides the characteristic mild tanginess of cream cheese and assists in coagulation. Salt contributes flavor. Modified corn starch thickens the low-fat base to compensate for reduced creaminess from the lower fat content. A stabilizer system of xanthan, locust bean, and guar gums provides texture and prevents whey separation. Potassium sorbate is used as a mold and yeast inhibitor for shelf life extension. The USDA data includes asterisk notation indicating certain ingredients may be only added in some versions, suggesting formulation variants across different package types.
The nutritional values of 167 calories per 100 grams with 16.67 grams of protein and zero fat appear inconsistent with a typical cream cheese formulation and may reflect a data entry error or measurement from a very specific variant. Standard Kroger cream cheese would be expected to have higher fat and lower protein than these figures suggest. Contains dairy allergens. No gluten, soy, eggs, or nut allergens are listed. Not appropriate for dairy-free or vegan consumers.
