About AMERICAN CHEESE
Shurfine American cheese is a processed slice built on real American cheese as its base, then extended with water, dry cream, and sodium citrate to achieve that smooth, melty texture. Fat content is substantial and protein is solid for a slice this size. The ingredient list is fairly typical for the category - short, readable, and free of unusual additives beyond sorbic acid as a preservative. Melts cleanly on a hot sandwich or burger.
