About Cheese, pasteurized process, American, without added vitamin D

American cheese is a processed cheese product, made by blending natural cheese with emulsifiers and other ingredients so it melts into a flawlessly smooth, glossy layer. That meltability is its whole reason for being — it is the cheese that makes a classic burger or grilled-cheese sandwich ooze.

It still provides protein and calcium, at around 371 calories per 100 grams, but the processing comes with trade-offs: it tends to be higher in sodium than natural cheese and, being a 'cheese product', is more diluted. This particular version is made without added vitamin D, which some processed cheeses are fortified with.

For melting it is hard to beat, and it does deliver some calcium and protein. But because of the added sodium and the processed nature of the product, a more natural cheese is often the better everyday choice when melt-perfection is not the goal.
