About AMERICAN PASTEURIZED CHEESE SNACK, AMERICAN
Meijer American Pasteurized Cheese Snack is a reduced-format processed cheese product sold under the Meijer private label at Meijer supercenter stores in the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Products in this category, sometimes sold as snack sticks, spreads, or small portions, are formulated as a more highly processed, shelf-stable cheese-based food rather than a natural block or sliced cheese.
Water is the primary ingredient, followed by pasteurized cheese (pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, and enzymes), whey, and soybean oil. Modified food starch and sodium phosphate provide body, texture, and emulsification. At less than 2%: lactic acid, natural flavors, salt, sodium hexametaphosphate (an emulsifier and sequestrant), sodium alginate (a thickener), sorbic acid (preservative), xanthan gum, and annatto (natural color). The high water content relative to cheese distinguishes this from standard processed cheese slices.
Nutritionally, the product delivers 267 calories per 100 grams, 10.0 grams of protein, 13.33 grams of carbohydrates, and 20.0 grams of fat. Calorie density is moderate. The carbohydrate content is higher than most processed cheese products, reflecting added starches and possibly corn-derived ingredients. Primary allergens include dairy (cheese, whey) and soy (soybean oil). No wheat, eggs, or nuts are declared. Not vegan.
