White American Cheese
What You Should Know
You'd spot this White American Cheese in the refrigerated cheese aisle or snag a pack for quick sandwiches, grilled cheese, or kids' lunches — it's the kind of product that sparks nostalgic comfort. The smooth, consistently melty texture and long shelf stability come from industrial processing: added water/cream and an emulsifying salt (sodium citrate) signal formulation beyond a simple natural cheese.
