Ingredients (6)

• pasteurized milk (safe) — Whole cow's milk, the natural base of cheese; provides protein, fat and calcium.
• Pasteurized skimmed milk (safe) — Fat-reduced milk used to balance the curd; still a whole-food dairy ingredient.
• Iodised Salt (safe) — Sodium with added iodine; fine in small amounts but adds to the sodium load.
• Firming Agent (INS 509) (safe) — Calcium chloride, a benign salt that firms the curd; adds a little calcium and poses no health concern at these levels.
• Microbial Cultures (safe) — Live bacterial cultures that ferment the milk into cheese; the natural, traditional way to make dairy.
• microbial rennet (safe) — Vegetarian coagulant that sets the curd; a standard, harmless cheesemaking enzyme.
