Cracker Barrel Cheese Sticks, Extra Sharp Yellow, Reduced Fat 10 ea
What You Should Know
Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Yellow Reduced Fat Cheese Sticks (10 count, 7.5 oz) is the familiar refrigerated snack you’ll find in the dairy/snack cheese section of a typical American grocery store — tucked into the long chilled case alongside string cheeses, snackable Babybel, lunch meats and prepacked deli items. Shoppers reach for it on quick weekly trips, in back-to-school aisles when buying lunchbox staples, or during game-day runs when assembling easy snack platters. The brand leans on American heritage and comfort-food associations: Cracker Barrel evokes country-style cheese tradition and appeals to families and adults seeking a straightforward, recognizable snack. Packaging and label cues emphasize practical benefits — “reduced fat,” “pasteurized part-skim milk” and familiar nutritional callouts — creating a mild health-halo without organic or specialty certifications. There’s no kid-specific cartooning, but the single-serve stick format clearly targets busy parents and on-the-go eaters. In plain processing terms it’s a made cheese product: pasteurized milk cultured, salted and formed into shaped sticks with minimal additives (coloring and vitamin A). Sensory-wise the cheese presents a firm, slightly springy texture that yields a clean bite; the “extra sharp” descriptor signals tangy, pronounced cheddar flavor while the yellow annatto tint gives classic cheddar appearance. Sticks are individually wrapped or packed in a small tray/film pack for portability; ritual uses include lunchboxes, post-workout protein bites, picnic trays, and simple pairings with crackers or fruit. It’s a convenient, familiar protein snack that fits easily into everyday American eating routines.
