About Cheese, cheddar, reduced fat (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)
Reduced-fat cheddar occupies the middle ground between full-fat and nonfat cheese, with 316 calories and 20.4 grams of fat per 100 grams, of which 12.6 grams is saturated. Protein is 27.4 grams, higher than full-fat cheddar because lowering the fat proportionally raises the protein share. Sodium is 628 milligrams. Calcium stays abundant at 761 milligrams and phosphorus at 520 milligrams, showing that the mineral density is preserved when fat is reduced. Vitamin A falls to 145 micrograms, an intermediate value consistent with the partial fat removal. This variant demonstrates how trimming milkfat shifts the energy and vitamin A downward while leaving the protein and mineral content largely intact.
