About MONTEREY JACK SHREDDED CHEESE, MONTEREY JACK
Meijer Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese is a pre-shredded semi-soft cheese from Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan Midwest supercenter. It is made from cultured pasteurized milk with salt and enzymes, and includes potato starch and powdered cellulose as anti-caking agents, plus natamycin as a natural mold inhibitor.
Potato starch and powdered cellulose are standard anti-caking agents used in pre-shredded cheese to prevent clumping. Natamycin (pimaricin) is a naturally derived antifungal from Streptomyces bacteria, approved for use as a mold inhibitor on cheese surfaces — relevant for those sensitive to it, though it is generally recognized as safe. No artificial preservatives, HFCS, artificial colors, or wheat allergens are present. Dairy is the sole primary allergen.
At 393 calories per 100 grams with 25 g of protein, 32.14 g of fat, and zero carbohydrates (the anti-caking agents contribute negligible starch per serving), this shredded cheese is consistent with full-fat Monterey Jack. It is a versatile cooking ingredient for tacos, enchiladas, nachos, casseroles, and egg dishes. Suitable for keto and low-carb diets. Not appropriate for dairy-free or vegan consumers.
