Food Category Hierarchy

Unripened cheese (01.6.1)

Description:
Unripened cheese, including fresh cheese, is ready for consumption soon after manufacture.1 Examples include cottage cheese (a soft, unripened, coagulated curd cheese), creamed cottage cheese (cottage cheese covered with a creaming mixture),2 cream cheese (rahmfrischkase, an uncured, soft spreadable cheese),3 mozzarella and scamorza cheeses. Includes the whole unripened cheese and unripened cheese rind (for those unripened cheeses with a “skin” such as mozzarella). Most products are plain, however, some, such as cottage cheese and cream cheese, may be flavoured or contain ingredients such as fruit, vegetables or meat. Excludes ripened cream cheese, where cream is a qualifier for a high fat content.

This page provides information on the food additive provisions that are acceptable for use in foods conforming to the food category.
