Medium Green Chili Queso, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this 12 oz tub in the refrigerated dips/cheese section or pulled out warm for a game-day spread, movie night, or casual party. It feels indulgent and comforting with a nostalgic party-dip vibe — melty, spicy, and ready to dunk chips into. The ingredient list (processed American cheese with emulsifiers and colorants alongside green chiles, onion and tomato) and the smooth, shelf-stable texture point to industrial reformulation typical of ultraprocessed foods.
