About Cheese food, pasteurized process, American, without added vitamin D
This versatile dairy product is a smooth, meltable blend of cheeses processed together with emulsifiers to create a consistent texture and extended shelf life. It's known for its mild flavor and creamy consistency that makes it ideal for melting over burgers, in grilled sandwiches, or as a dip base. The processing method results in a product that's more uniform and stable than natural cheese, though it contains added ingredients to help achieve its characteristic texture.
From a nutritional standpoint, this food provides a solid protein source at nearly 17 grams per 100-gram serving, making it helpful for meeting daily protein needs. It's also notably high in fat at 25.6 grams per serving, with a significant portion coming from saturated fat. The carbohydrate content is relatively low at 8.6 grams, with most of these being from lactose naturally present in the dairy ingredients. While it doesn't contain added vitamin D, it does provide calcium and other minerals found in dairy products. Due to its processed nature and sodium content, portion control may be worth considering for those monitoring their intake of these elements. The smooth melting quality makes it particularly popular for comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, nachos, or as a topping for various hot dishes where a creamy, uniform melt is desired.
