Abstract From the Canadian patent

simulated cheese analogs which are reduced in calories and animal fat are produced by combining protein derived from aged or non-aged low-fat or full-fat cheese, dry-powdered bland flavored milk protein, vegetable protein, or mixtures thereof; water; cheese flavors; an emulsifying salt; an acidulant, if desired; adjuvant materials if desired, and a fatty substance which is non-digestible partially digestible, or is lower in net caloric efficiency than butterfat, animal fat, or vegetable fat.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 24, 1990 and granted March 11, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 24, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 24, 2012.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
