About KRAFT VELVEETA LIGHT Reduced Fat Pasteurized Process Cheese Product
Velveeta Light keeps the processed cheese spread format while cutting back on fat compared to the original. Emulsifying salts and processing techniques remain the same, producing that characteristically smooth, consistent melt. With less fat and slightly more protein than the standard version, it lands in a better place nutritionally, though the ingredient list is still a long way from natural cheese. The carbohydrate is somewhat higher than natural cheese, reflecting the starch and milk-derived fillers. Its usefulness is the same: reliable, smooth, no-fuss melting.
