Which Brand Is Behind Cheez Its?
It might come as a surprise, but Kellogg is the company that produces Cheez Its. It has not always been that way.
Cheez Its was first introduced in 1921 by Green & Green Company. Sunshine Foods acquired them in 1932. Keebler then acquired that company in 1996.
In 2001, the Cheez Its producer changed hands for the last time (so far): Kellogg took over and has constantly increased the Cheez Its range.
What Are Cheez Its Ingredients?
As there are so many different flavors, let’s look at the ingredients for the original Cheez Its:
Enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin B1 [thiamin mononitrate], vitamin B2 [riboflavin], folic acid), vegetable oil (high oleic soybean, soybean, palm, and/or canola oil with TBHQ for freshness), cheese made with skim milk (skim milk, whey protein, salt, cheese cultures, enzymes, annatto extract color). Contains 2% or less of salt, paprika, yeast, paprika extract color, soy lecithin.
It may look like a lot, but there are far longer ingredient lists in the world of snack foods.

Are Cheez Its Suitable for Vegetarians And Vegans?
They are unsuitable for vegans because all Cheez Its contain dairy. Vegetarians, however, can enjoy Cheez Its – even flavors like Buffalo wings, as there are no animal ingredients used to flavor these.
Are Cheez Its Bad For You?
Like many snack foods, they are not particularly good for you – but they could be worse. For one, they contain no sugar and no artificial colors.
The negative aspects are that they contain little nutritional value as they are made with white flour (enriched flour might sound good, but it’s just a fancy way to hide the boring truth) and are high in carbs.
They also contain TBHQ, a slightly questionable ingredient connected to numerous health risks (check out this page for more information and access to detailed studies).
You should enjoy these snacks responsibly, i.e., don’t eat them every day and don’t eat more than the recommended serving.
