365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic White Queso, 15 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this in the refrigerated cheese/dips aisle or pulled from the cooler for a game-night or casual party — ready to be warmed and spooned over chips. It reads indulgent and convenient: branded organic but designed for easy entertaining and consistent texture. The long ingredient list with emulsifiers (disodium/sodium phosphate), maltodextrin, xanthan gum and "natural flavor" points to industrial formulation and a smooth, shelf-stable, highly emulsified product consistent with ultraprocessed foods.
