About KROGER, SHARP CHEDDAR SHREDDED CHEESE
Kroger Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese is a pre-shredded natural cheddar cheese sold under The Kroger Co. store brand for easy use in cooking and meal preparation. The base cheese formulation mirrors Kroger's standard sharp cheddar — pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, and annatto — with the addition of anti-caking agents required for the shredded format to prevent clumping in the bag.
Beyond the cheese itself, the shredded version adds potato starch, corn starch, dextrose, calcium sulfate, and natamycin. Natamycin is a natural antifungal agent derived from Streptomyces bacteria and is approved for use in cheese to inhibit surface mold without altering flavor — it is generally considered a non-chemical, clean-label mold inhibitor. Potato starch, corn starch, and dextrose serve as anti-caking agents to keep shreds separate. Allergen note: contains dairy (milk). No wheat, soy, egg, nut, or sesame allergens are listed.
At 393 calories per 100 grams with 32.14 grams of fat, 3.57 grams of carbohydrates, and 25 grams of protein, the nutritional profile is identical to block sharp cheddar. No fiber. The shredded format adds slight carbohydrate from the anti-caking starches versus a freshly shredded block, a minor consideration for strict low-carb dieters. Suitable for gluten-free and ketogenic diets, and convenient for recipes requiring melted cheese.
