Is Trader Joe's CheeseSticks Cheddar Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Description
Firm, slightly crumbly pieces offer a pronounced savory tang and creamy finish, with a dense, sliceable texture that holds shape. Commonly eaten as a quick snack, lunchbox addition, or appetizer accompaniment. Reviewers note convenient portioning, consistent flavor, and occasional comments about saltiness or dryness in some batches, and easy portability.
Why it's not alpha-gal friendly
- unsalted butter
- milk
- cheese cultures
- cheddar & asiago cheeses
unsalted butter
Dietitian noteButter is typically derived from milk (dairy) and thus contains alpha-gal, but can be derived from plants as well. Butter flavoring, including artificial butter flavoring, may contain milk - if the label is unclear, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

What is a Alpha-Gal Friendly diet?
An Alpha-Gal diet eliminates mammalian meat and products containing mammalian-derived ingredients to prevent allergic reactions in people with alpha-gal syndrome. This includes beef, pork, lamb, dairy products, gelatin, and certain medications derived from mammals. The condition involves a specific sugar molecule found in most mammals, often triggered after a tick bite. People may experience delayed allergic reactions 3-6 hours after consuming trigger foods. The diet focuses on safe alternatives like poultry, fish, and plant-based proteins. When followed carefully, often with guidance from an allergist or dietitian, it can prevent serious reactions while maintaining adequate nutrition.
