More about allergens
This food contains milk protein, one of the nine major food allergens recognized in the United States. Milk allergy is an immune reaction and is different from lactose intolerance. For packaged versions, always verify the current ingredient and allergen label.

Interesting fact
Moisture helps explain why dairy products age differently
Hard cheeses contain less water than milk, yogurt, or fresh cheese, so their texture and storage behavior differ. Regardless of style, refrigeration and clean handling remain important once a perishable dairy package is opened.
