About LIGHT CREAM CHEESE, LIGHT
Meijer Light Cream Cheese is a reduced-fat cream cheese product sold under the Meijer private label of Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. The light designation indicates a lower fat content compared to regular cream cheese, achieved by blending pasteurized skim milk with the standard pasteurized milk and cream base. The ingredient list includes cheese cultures, sodium citrate as a stabilizer, salt, guar gum, modified food starch, carob bean gum, and xanthan gum—a combination of hydrocolloids that compensates for the textural richness lost when fat is reduced. Natural flavor and vitamin A palmitate are also present; the latter restores vitamin A that is reduced along with the fat content. Per 100 grams, the product provides 194 calories, with fat at 16.13 grams, carbohydrates at 6.45 grams, and protein at 6.45 grams. The 31-gram serving delivers approximately 60 calories. Contains dairy (milk, cream, skim milk) as a declared allergen. The product is not suitable for lactose-intolerant consumers. Sodium caseinate, while not listed explicitly, may be present through the milk protein fractions; individuals with dairy protein sensitivity should exercise caution. No artificial preservatives or HFCS are present.
