A cheese product, suitable for use as a cheese snack and/or food topping
includes packaging in which moist cheese components of the snack or
topping are separately sealed within a secondary package, prior to both
the moist cheese and dry components of the snack or topping being sealed
within a common primary container. At the time of use, a consumer opens
both the primary container and the secondary package, and mixes the moist
and dry components within the primary container. Following mixing, the
resultant mixture of moist and dry components may be consumed directly
from the primary container, or be poured out of or otherwise removed from
the primary container for use as a food topping on foods such as salads,
pizza, or baked potatoes. The secondary package is formed from a material
and sealed in a manner that effectively precludes moisture migration
between the moist and dry products during storage of the unmixed snack or
topping, to thereby provide a longer shelf life.
