About Cheese, pasteurized process, American, fortified with vitamin D
This creamy, smooth dairy product is made by blending natural cheeses with emulsifiers, then pasteurizing the mixture to create a consistent texture and extended shelf life. The addition of vitamin D fortification enhances its nutritional profile, making it a convenient source of this essential nutrient that supports bone health and immune function. With nearly 19 grams of protein per 100 grams, it provides a substantial protein boost, though it's also relatively high in fat, with about 31 grams per serving. The carbohydrate content is minimal at under 5 grams, and it contains no fiber.
Commonly found in slices or blocks, this versatile ingredient melts beautifully, making it a favorite for grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers, and macaroni and cheese. It's also popular in dips, casseroles, and as a quick snack paired with crackers or apple slices. While it offers convenience and a good source of calcium and protein, those monitoring sodium or saturated fat intake may want to enjoy it in moderation. Its mild flavor and smooth melt make it especially appealing for children and those who prefer a less intense cheese taste.
