I don’t understand some of the ingredients in your reduced fat cheddars. Can you explain terms like “monoglyceride” and “Vitamin A palmitate”?
Monogylceride is a substance used to improve the texture of our reduced fat cheddar. The monoglyceride that we use in our 75% Reduced Fat Cheddar is derived from vegetable oil — specifically palm oil — but only contributes .01g to the total fat content . It does not contain any trans fats. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found naturally in milk, but is lost when whole milk is reduced in fat content. By law, we are required to add Vitamin A back to lower-fat milk products and the addition of palmitic acid, one of the most common fatty acids found in plants and animals, allows it to remain stable. However, contrary to what its name implies, there is no palm oil in Vitamin A palmitate.
