Reduced-Fat Cheese Sauce
Reduced-Fat Cheese Sauce is a creamy sauce commonly used in Western comfort cooking—topped on vegetables, pasta or nachos—and is typically made from low‑fat milk and reduced‑fat cheese to mimic a traditional cheese sauce with less fat. Nutritionally it supplies a modest amount of protein (6g per 100g) and provides calcium, making it useful for adding savory flavor and some bone-friendly minerals. Because it is an ultra‑processed condiment and can be relatively high in sodium, it’s best used in moderation as a flavoring rather than a staple ingredient, though it does offer a better fat profile than full‑fat cheese sauces and a good amino acid profile for its portion size.
