Cheese — FDA Serving Size (RACC)
The FDA Reference Amount Customarily Consumed (RACC) for Cheese is 5 g, a Dairy Products and Substitutes category for the General (4+ years) population under 21 CFR 101.12 — the basis for its Nutrition Facts serving size.
Cheese is measured in bulk, so its FDA label serving size is the RACC itself, expressed as a household measure: 1 tbsp (5 g) — per 21 CFR 101.9(b)(5)(i).
