About IMITATION PASTEURIZED PROCESS CHEESE FOOD SINGLES
Penny Smart Imitation Pasteurized Process Cheese Food Singles are a cheese analog product sold under the Penny Smart sub-brand of Meijer, Inc. supercenter stores across the Midwest. The product is labeled as 'imitation' cheese, meaning it does not meet the standard of identity for pasteurized process cheese food under FDA regulations and contains non-dairy fat as a primary component. The ingredients begin with water and interesterified soybean oil as the fat base, followed by modified food starch and whey, with less than 2% of calcium phosphate, carob bean gum, carrageenan, unspecified color added, enzyme-modified cheese made from milk, gelatin, guar gum, natural flavor, sodium phosphate, sorbic acid as a preservative, and xanthan gum.
Interesterified soybean oil is a chemically modified fat produced by rearranging fatty acid chains on the glycerol backbone, developed as a replacement for partially hydrogenated trans fat oils. It is free of trans fats but has been the subject of ongoing research regarding its metabolic effects. This product contains dairy derivatives including whey, enzyme-modified cheese, and gelatin (though gelatin can be animal-derived from pork or beef). Allergens include milk and soy. Per 100 grams, this cheese analog provides 237 calories, 18.42 grams of fat, 15.79 grams of carbohydrates, and no protein listed. A 19-gram serving provides approximately 45 calories. The product is not suitable for vegans due to dairy and potential gelatin content, nor for kosher observance without certification verification. It is designed as a value-priced alternative to dairy-based American cheese singles.
