About Cold pack American cheese

Cold-pack American cheese is a processed cheese product made by blending finely divided cheese with ingredients such as emulsifying salts, without the cooking step used for some other processed cheese products. It is used as a spread or filling and may be served on crackers or sandwiches. It is typically smooth and spreadable, with a mild, savoury cheese flavour.

Products are commonly sold in tubs or wrapped portions and may vary in firmness and formulation. It is not the same as a natural American-style cheese slice or a cooked cheese spread. For nutrition comparisons, the particular formulation and serving form matter, including any added dairy ingredients, salt or flavourings.
