Yes, you can introduce store-bought cheese, but it is important to check the ingredient labels carefully. Opt for options that are fully pasteurized, low-sodium, and free from additives, preservatives, and emulsifiers. Brands such as Mooz, Kodai, and Old Hill are often recommended by parents. Paneer is a great, natural starting point for dairy before moving to softer cheeses like mozzarella or ricotta, and eventually, grated cheddar in cooked meals.
