Austin Slow Burn Mild Green Chili Queso, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot this 12 oz queso in the refrigerated cheese/dips section or on a party platter at a backyard game—an easy grab for chips, nachos, or melting over burgers. It gives an indulgent, comforting party-vibe with nostalgic chip-and-dip memories, but also feels like a convenient ready-to-serve product. The ingredient list (processed American cheese with sodium phosphate emulsifier plus water and oils) signals an industrially formulated, very smooth pourable texture and points toward ultra-processed manufacturing and stabilization.

Common Questions about Austin Slow Burn Mild Green Chili Queso, 12 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This queso has a decent amount of protein (7g per serving) and low sugar, making it a tasty option for dipping. However, it does have a higher sodium content, so if you’re watching your salt intake, that’s something to consider. Think of it as an indulgent treat rather than a health food.
