About KRAFT CHEEZ WHIZ LIGHT Pasteurized Process Cheese Product
Kraft Cheez Whiz Light is a pasteurized processed cheese product, not a natural cheese, and the ingredient list reflects that. Whey, modified food starch, and various additives join reduced-fat cheese to create a thick, pourable sauce-like product. The protein is decent for a processed cheese, the fat is moderate, and the carbohydrate is higher than most natural cheeses due to starches and fillers. It's engineered for convenience, melting evenly without the graininess that natural cheese can develop. Its appeal is almost entirely about ease and nostalgia rather than ingredient quality.
