About KROGER, HOT PEPPER CHEESE BLEND, HOT PEPPER, HOT PEPPER

Kroger Hot Pepper Cheese Blend is a shredded cheese product combining Pepper Jack and pasteurized process cheese food with jalapeño, sold under the core Kroger brand by The Kroger Co. at Kroger, Harris Teeter, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, and Ralph's. The blend layers Pepper Jack (pasteurized milk, cultures, jalapeño, salt, enzymes) with a process cheese food that incorporates Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and Swiss cheeses, along with sodium citrate, pimentos, and oleoresin capsicum for heat. Potato starch, corn starch, dextrose, and calcium sulfate prevent caking; natamycin (a natural antifungal derived from fermentation) inhibits mold.

Contains dairy throughout — not suitable for dairy-intolerant or vegan consumers. The process cheese portion adds emulsifying salts and cream that soften melt behavior.
