I've been following this thread with some interest. Especially as I buy
"inexpensive" cheeses for the most part. I checked my cheese stock - I have 1
lb blocks of Coburn Farms (Sav-A-Lot's house brand) Medium Cheddar and Happy
Farms (ALDI's house brand) Colby and neither has natamycin listed on the
ingredients. Those two blocks have been in the ice-box door tray for well over
two years - possibly three years and are in good shape - that is, no mold or
visible deterioration. I wonder if they may be hiding the natamycin under the
heading of "enzymes" as both cheeses list "INGREDIENTS: Pasteurized milk,
cheese cultures, salt, enzymes and annatto vegetable color. CONTAINS MILK"  The
"best by" dates on both are February 2013.  Bv)=
