Disclosed herein is an anticaking agent for cheese, comprising one or more dairy ingredients; and one or more non-dairy ingredients. When applied the anticaking agent is applied to a divided cheese, it has low visibility on the divided cheese, prevents caking of the divided cheese, and browns similarly to divided cheese without the anticaking agent when baked in an impinger oven at between 425° F. and 450° F. for 5 minutes. Also disclosed are food products containing an anticaking agent described herein, and methods for treating divided cheese for anticaking using an anticaking agent described herein.

The present invention refers to the use of a calcium carbonate-based composition as an anticaking agent, wherein the calcium carbonate-based composition comprises a first component being a natural ground calcium carbonate or a precipitated calcium carbonate, and a second component being a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural ground calcium carbonate or precipitated calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and at least one H.sub.3O.sup.+ ion donor, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the at least one H.sub.3O.sup.+ ion donor treatment and/or is supplied from an external source. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a particulate composition comprising such an anticaking agent, and to a method for producing such a particulate composition.

A nutritional ingredient for use in nutritional powders is provided. The nutritional ingredient is an agglomerated calcium source, which includes particles of a calcium source adhered together with a lecithin binder. The nutritional ingredient functions as both a flow agent and an antifoam agent when incorporated into nutritional powders, such as powdered infant formulas.
