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.

This general information does not replace the ingredient and allergen label on a packaged product or individual medical advice.

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.
