The increasing use of mozzarella cheese in pizzas and pasta is fuelling the growth of the global mozzarella cheese market. Furthermore, increasing manufacturing of low-fat organic mozzarella cheese is also driving the growth of the market. Many of the key companies are participating to drive the global mozzarella cheese market. For instance, Sargento Foods, Inc. is a cheese manufacturing company based in Wisconsin in the U.S. The company manufactures custom made cheese for restaurants, and sliced, diced, and shredded cheese for supermarkets. Sargento Foods, Inc. was founded by Leonard Gentine in 1949. It was his passion for cheese that inspired him to start his cheese business. In 1953, Joseph Sartori became a partner, and the two formed the Sargento Cheese Company. Sargento Foods Incorporated offers shredded, reduced fat, low moisture mozzarella cheese that is prepared from pasteurized reduced fat milk. However, stringent government regulations related to cheese manufacturing, and quality maintenance is expected to restrain the growth of the mozzarella cheese market. For instance, according to the European Commission, E. coli content of >1,000 colony forming units (cfu)/g is unsatisfactory in cheese made from milk or whey that has undergone heat treatment.
