White American Cheese
What You Should Know
You'll find this White American Cheese in the refrigerated cheese or deli-slice aisle — a go-to for melting on burgers, grilled cheese, or quick school lunches, offering a nostalgic, comforting vibe. Its smooth, uniform melt and extended shelf stability come from industrial formulation (added water, cream and an emulsifying salt like sodium citrate), signaling an ultra-processed product rather than a simple natural cheese.
