Is that American "cheese"
I saw a video clip of it, the guy just called it "yellow cheese".
He's right on the yellow part, i'll give him that.
K can't remember if they're legally allowed to call it cheese but yes.
Yeah, those Kraft slices can't be called cheese, at least not officially.
I don't even think they should even be called "slices" because I'm pretty sure they're injection molded into that shape and not sliced off a block like real cheese would be
They're poured, flattened, and cooled in a sheet and then sliced into squares, AFAIK.
It's cheese that's been melted, had water and sodium citrate (IIRC) added, then poured into a sheet. It apparently started as a way of reclaiming and consolidating cheese scraps, but now it's just a matter of getting cheese with a lower melting point and that doesn't separate when melted. Things can't be labeled "cheese" if they've been melted and had further ingredients added like that.
That said, the Kraft ones are awful because Kraft makes shitty tasting food products in general.
