Peppery Cheddar uses milk solids and cheese powder for that ‘cheddar’ effect. In addition, it contains spices like onion, garlic, black pepper and turmeric. The additives used are INS414, INS627 and 631. Dextrose too is added to it. INS414 is gum arabic that acts as an emulsifier and has no known side effects. INS 627 is Disodium Guanylate which is a natural sodium salt and INS631 is sodium salt of inosinic acid.
