White American Cheese
What You Should Know
You’d spot this in the refrigerated cheese or deli aisle and reach for it when making classic grilled cheeses, burgers, or packing nostalgic lunchboxes. It gives an indulgent, convenient vibe — creamy, meltable and familiar — and the presence of emulsifiers (sodium citrate), added water/cream and a uniform texture are hallmarks of industrially processed cheese with UPF/NOVA indicators.
