I've been enjoying the new Live Active cheese even though it does tend to increase flatulance to a degree. Still, I find I am more comfortable if I consistently have it every day. My question is this: to what temperature can I safely take the cheese before killing the culture? Does melting it in a baked potato or a bowl of grits make it ineffective?

I've always said that if you ever told me I could not have beer or cheese for the rest of my life, I'd crumble into a heap on the floor and die at your feet. I have to tell you, however, that I about cured my love for cheese trying to get the live active bacteria I needed in my system. Taking probiotic capsules is so-o-o much easier!!
Please, please give them a try! I cannot adequately tell you the wonderful difference they have made for me.

Hi Merf. Thanks for your post. I'm a moderator for the site.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find any information on your site to answer your question ("to what temperature can I safely take the cheese before killing the culture?"). My best suggestion is that you contact customer service at Kraft to get your answer.
All the best, sue
Hi Sue. My friend and I did contact Kraft Foods and they said they would have to refer the question to their diabetic consultant. We've heard not another word. Suffice it to say, i will continue to enjoy the cheese right out of my fridge and only when i hear it is o.k. to heat it to the point of melting will I attempt that again.
Thanks for your response.
