About AMERICAN DELUXE PASTEURIZED PROCESS CHEESE, AMERICAN
Meijer American Deluxe Pasteurized Process Cheese is a processed cheese product sold under the Meijer private label at Meijer supercenter stores in the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pasteurized process cheese is produced by blending natural cheese with emulsifying salts, heat, and additional dairy ingredients to create a uniform, melt-stable product with extended shelf life compared to natural cheese.
American cheese (milk, cheese culture, salt, and enzymes) is the primary ingredient, followed by water, dry cream, milkfat, and sodium citrate (an emulsifying salt that stabilizes the blend). Natural flavor, salt, sorbic acid (a preservative), carotenal (a carotenoid color additive), and sunflower lecithin (used as a release agent to prevent the slices from sticking) complete the formulation.
Per 100 grams, the product delivers 368 calories, 21.05 grams of protein, 5.26 grams of carbohydrates, and 31.58 grams of fat. Calorie density is high, consistent with full-fat processed cheese. Protein content is substantial. The low carbohydrate content reflects the minimal residual lactose in the aged cheese base. Primary allergen is dairy (milk, cream, cheese). Soy is absent; sunflower lecithin is used instead. No wheat, eggs, or nut ingredients are declared. Not vegan. Suitable for gluten-free diets.
