Are individually wrapped slices really cheese?

Cheese FOOD?

And if it's not really cheese, do you say, I'm going to make myself a grilled cheese food sandwich?

 

[FroggyinArk]

technically the majority of them are not even dairy,

but if you check labels you will find a few that are actually real cheese.

Yes it does. And they're just so convenient.

I always suspected that the plastic on the outside of the cheese was NOT the only plastic present in cheese food. Ugh.

WDWO

I'll have to look online to see what ingredients are in cheese food.

I bought 2 packages (buy one get one free ) so I could send away for the POTC tshirt, but I threw out the outer packaging since I needed the UPCs.

I buy the "white" cheese food slices....so I can pretend that it is healthier.

It's even worse that you thought:

The name on the KRAFT American Singles label changed from Pasteurized Process Cheese Food to Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product.

Processed cheese is sometimes sold in blocks, but more often sold packed in individual slices, with plastic wrappers or wax paper separating them.

Due to the processing and additives, some varieties cannot legally be labeled as "cheese" in many countries, including the United States and Britain, and so are sold as "cheese food", "cheese spread", or "cheese product", depending primarily on the amount of cheese, moisture, and milkfat present in the final product.

In the United States processed cheese is defined, categorized, and regulated by the Food & Drug Administration under the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 (Food and Drugs), Section 133 (Cheeses and Cheese Related Products)[3]. Pasteurized process cheese can be made from a single cheese or a blend of several cheeses. Cream, milkfat, water, salt, artificial color, and spices may also be added. The mixture is heated with an emulsifier, poured into a mold, and then allowed to cool. The definitions include:

* Pasteurized process cheese. (Includes "American Cheese"[1] and "Pasteurized process American cheese"[1])
* Pasteurized process cheese food
* Pasteurized process cheese spread (e.g. Velveeta)
* Pasteurized process cheese product

The various definitions are mainly used to distinguish minimum/maximum amounts of cheese ingredient, moisture content, and milkfat.

Sounds yummy.

Velveeta cheese "food" is the best!

 

[Dr.Pluto]

Aren't APOCAROTENAL and ANNATTO part of the food pyramid?

 

[poohs_hunny]

When I was younger I read the package and thought that the "cheese food" was what one feeds TO cheese.

Sorry but I don't think it is cheese,I think it is some form of rubber!!!!!!!
