Skim Milk Cheese
Skim Milk Cheese appears in 84 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Skim Milk Cheese appears in 84 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 15.5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Skim Milk Cheese spans 38 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with 2% Milk American Singles Reduced Fat Pasteurized Process Cheese Food; Ahold, cheddar penguins baked snack crackers; American Cheese when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.0/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
38 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 83 of 83 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
What else is usually in the same product as Skim Milk Cheese
Across the 84 products on this site that list Skim Milk Cheese, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
