About Pasteurized process cheese food

Pasteurized process cheese food is a formulated processed cheese product made by heating and blending cheese with other permitted dairy ingredients and emulsifying ingredients. Its exact composition varies. It is commonly shaped into slices, loaves, or portions and has a smooth, cohesive texture that softens readily when heated.

The flavour is generally cheese-like but depends on the cheeses and other ingredients used; colour also varies by formulation. It is used in sandwiches, sauces, and heated dishes. The term describes a category distinct from pasteurized process cheese and process cheese spread, rather than a single recipe or a natural cheese variety.
