Cheese, processed, slices, reduced fat

Reduced-fat processed cheese slices are a milk-based product made from cheese and supplied in sliced form. They provide protein, fat and carbohydrate, as well as calcium and other minerals. Per 100g, they contain 17g of protein, 9.6g of fat, 642mg of calcium and 2g of salt. The figures cover a range of branded and own-brand reduced-fat slices.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Reduced-fat cheese slices still contain saturated fat and salt, which are worth noting when monitoring intake. The amounts can vary between products, so packaging labels provide information for a particular brand. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
