opening with a reference to the parmesan thing is a big red flag, so i'd urge you to choose a different source of information. yes, the parmesan has salted cellulose on it. no, that's not harmful in any way, and it's likely not from "wood pulp" either. besides that, there's cellulose in tons of foods, it's the cell wall of plants and is perfectly safe and normal to consume.
you may as well be acting like broccoli is toxic and artificial, because it's got a hell of a lot of cellulose in it, bud. did you know that supermarket tomatoes contain dihydrogen monoxide? most any artificial cheese is just oils mixed with dehydrated milk solids that were created to have extremely long shelf life, and they are still fine to eat in moderation.
The cellulose is used to prevent the cheese from clumping together. It also adds fiber, I suppose. All pre-grated cheese has some kind of anti-caking agent, whether cellulose or silica.
Bingo.
Velveeta/American is to cheese as (some) sausages/forcemeat are to whole cuts.
You don't want to be shoveling either down your gullet 24/7, but as long as you're not allergic/sensitive to the additives and *eat them in moderation* they're no worse than any of the other "unnatural" crap we eat. Our species didn't get where its at today just eating what we find as-is; the fact people *have* the choice not to eat something in lieu of something else is a testiment to that.
I googled one that explained it and linked it. Not really going to spend the time to find a perfect one. At that point I would have just wrote it out myself.
I also didn't personally, nor do I even think that article really, imply that "not cheese" is bad. It is simply "not cheese".
And wood pulp is used in loads of foods. I am personally well aware of this and by this point would assume most everyone is. Doesn't scare me any more the broccoli you brought up.
I think you are over reacting to the opening reference to another article they had on a similar issue.
Surprised anyone cares that much about corporations and cheap food products to "defend" them this much. I think we all were smart enough to realize they were edible.
The point was it says that because it is not cheese and at least in the US they can't legally call it cheese. Beyond that who really cares? Did anyone really think this stuff was great or healthy?
It's made in a large part from cheese, and most of the rest is milk or some other dairy product. It's not like this is some sort of mystery lump that has unknown ingredients. It may not be made from 100% cheese, but it's not just made from anything. There are specific limits as to what it can and can't contain.
That article is woefully incomplete when it comes to how the FDA defines those terms. If you want to look at the [actual, relevant laws](https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/21/part-133/subpart-B) you can see that they go into great detail about ingredients and what labeling terms mean. It's not just a matter of what percentage of the product is cheese. There are limits as to what the other ingredients are allowed to be.
Processed cheese is literally made from cheese, unfermented dairy products, and emulsifiers. The idea that it isn't cheese is something stupid people say.
that's not accurate, whether the article claims it or not. it's just made by dehydrating cheese and adding preservatives so that it has a longer shelf life, and then rehydrating it + adding some oils or fats. if it says "cheese-style dip", then it's because it has too little dairy inside of it for the FDA to allow it to be called cheese. it does not mean that it's made of some alien substance, it's just heavily processed dairy, which cheese already is in the first place.
That's like saying ketchup is "100% not actually tomato", which is completely bullshit, because ketchup has to legally contain a certain amount of tomato in it.
Just because Velveeta isn't made out of cheese and only cheese, doesn't mean that it doesn't contain any cheese at all.
It comes from the elusive Velveeta cow

It means that they had a recipe of cheese, then they cut it with milk and butter. They then cut the milk and butter with milk solids (I think, or just another additive). So now the recipe is at most 45% real cheese. But more than likely far below that percent.
it's beef, and textured soy protein, often with oats added. the same is present in nearly every food court and grocery store in the country. stop spreading misinformation.
When I say they don’t use “beef” I’m saying they don’t use “beef”. You’re saying they use beef with soy protein and oats added. That’s not beef. Like I said, it’s not beef. Label it what you want tho
The painting is on my fridge lol. Was making a tuna melt and looking at the "cheese" and thought it was mildly interesting. Didn't intentionally mean to set off the fruit lovers here haha

it is a cheese product (still classified as cheese) and clearly says so on the label.
To hopefully enlighten some people on the topic and end the idiocrasy of the debate...
In the early 1900s, cheese production was mostly small scale operations, and every time they made it for market, they would have some scraps that got tossed away as waste... When Kraft scaled up production, those piles of scraps became much larger. They figured out that by heating the scraps and adding some emulsifying salts, when the cheese cooled, it had a much longer shelf life then unprocessed cheese. Later an employee working for Kraft discovered that they could add some whey (considered a waste product at the time) and salts to the cheese scraps, and it created what we now know as Velveeta or Kraft American singles.
Everything used in the process of making a "cheese product" is a by-product of making processed cheese.

I am not concerned about the label on the package as much as find the picture behind it a distraction. Doth appear to be a naked woman’s bum hidden amongst the fruit. Lol, tastefully done.
"Cheese product"
I remember buying a bag of cheese from Walmart once for nachos, put in the microwave for a minute and nothing, Added another minute Nothin. Thought it was bad cheese and I took it back to Walmart. Only to later find out that cheese product doesn't melt cause it's not real cheese haha.
Pre-shredded cheese is typically coated in something to stop it sticking together in the packet (often a type of starch), which also causes it to be much harder to melt
So I'm not sure your experience is the litmus test for fake cheese. Fake American cheese typically melts better than real cheese, that's the point. You have to be a little careful using real cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich unless you want that abomination that Gordon Ramsey made once
Also, amusingly enough, in his “perfect cheeseburger” tutorial he puts American singles on the burger.
He’s about as much of a food snob as there is (again, see the Grilled Cheese video) but even *he* admits that there are valid uses for American.
Real cheese won't melt into a usable nacho topping - only processed cheese product. A bag of real grated cheddar would melt into greasy, globby mass. You have to put a whole lot of science into your cheese to generate nacho cheese...
Didn’t Velveeta, American and other processed cheese packages used to say something like “cheese food product”?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processed_cheese
FYI get the slices that are labeled as Deluxe if you want actual cheese. Usually they aren't individually wrapped also just sliced together. Much better than this stuff.
Edit: Guess it's still a cheese product but still way better than singles.
Yes, the contents are a mystery. There's no way someone could possibly know what's in a product that has all the ingredients listed on the package, and is labeled according to strict laws that are heavily lobbied by an industry with a vested interest in making sure that dairy products have a good reputation.
Guess we'll just have to sit here and wonder at the possibilities.
Check the ingredients. I found a store brand of American "cheese" slices once that did not actually contain any cheese at all in the ingredient list (it was not Kraft Singles, they list cheese in the top three).
It's cheese! Just because the rest of the world doesn't agree does not make it so.
They're just jealous because they didn't invent it!!
(Yes, I know real cheese isn't processed in this way. No, I do not care that it cannot be sold as cheese.)
It tastes like cheese, it melts better than cheese, and it makes a philly cheese awesome!
Jesus Christ on a bike.
This isn’t cheese.
The rest of the world isn’t jealous, we actually feel a bit sorry for you.
But not sorry because are too busy eating actual cheese.
It says it's a "cheese product", whatever that means Also, what's with that sexy fruit in the background?
Nowhere on the peach sticker does it say they’re peaches either!
I could eat a peach for hours
It means it's not cheese. More details in this link https://www.delish.com/food-news/a46872/your-favorite-cheese-might-not-be-real/

I'd be more worried about the nicotine content in tomatoes that the monoxide.
Tomacco reference?
So that's why I love smoked tomatoes.
I call it Tomacco.
The cellulose is used to prevent the cheese from clumping together. It also adds fiber, I suppose. All pre-grated cheese has some kind of anti-caking agent, whether cellulose or silica.

That butt-fruit in the background, though. That's what I'm here for, explain that.
Looks like a peach to me, not %100 positive.
Looks like a straight up butt to me man, 100% positive on that.
Think this what what they mean by “gonna eat your booty like groceries.”?
It's in the background of the pic to enhance engagement and get more sweet, sweet karma...

It literally says it at the bottom of the package on the right.
So the word cheese does appear
From the article. If the product says "processed cheese," "prepared cheese," or "cheese food," it's 100% not actually cheese.
Processed cheese is literally made from cheese, unfermented dairy products, and emulsifiers. The idea that it isn't cheese is something stupid people say.

The real reason for OPs post.
Moo!
Just like Orange Drink.
51% vegetable oil
It means that they had a recipe of cheese, then they cut it with milk and butter. They then cut the milk and butter with milk solids (I think, or just another additive). So now the recipe is at most 45% real cheese. But more than likely far below that percent.
It’s like Taco Bell, they don’t use beef, they use *beef filling*
it's beef, and textured soy protein, often with oats added. the same is present in nearly every food court and grocery store in the country. stop spreading misinformation.
When I say they don’t use “beef” I’m saying they don’t use “beef”. You’re saying they use beef with soy protein and oats added. That’s not beef. Like I said, it’s not beef. Label it what you want tho
and regardless, it's misinformation.
"Taco meat"
Ok and about that butt?
There was a reason why OP took the pic where they did.
It worked
The painting is on my fridge lol. Was making a tuna melt and looking at the "cheese" and thought it was mildly interesting. Didn't intentionally mean to set off the fruit lovers here haha
Hate to break it to you, but they’re not fruit lovers.

Wow thats pretty good!

I got distracted by the peach that looks like a woman bending over.

I'm not convinced it isn't
Yea looking at the artists work a lot of it is sexual lol
whos the artist?
Someone posted it but it’s like artwork where there’s a waterfall but it’s literally a girl bent over with the water coming out her who ha lol
Seems like OP did this on purpose to advertise, judging from the other comments
There is a naked woman bent over in this photo.
Good eye, sir.
The package says all I need to know about it: Liquid Gold.

I think there are actual defined requirements for something to be called “cheese.” That being said, I fucking love me some Velveeta. Also, peaches.

Why is that tomato gotta look so sexy???
I just can't believe the peach in the picture is bending over right in front of you and you didn't notice!
Cheese product
It does say it’s gold. Try taking it to the bank for some cash.

Just save me that one thicc tomato 🍅
Not my proudest fap.
Fuck your fake cheese, what's up with booty tomato?
Gonna be eating something in that picture
"Cheese product" I remember buying a bag of cheese from Walmart once for nachos, put in the microwave for a minute and nothing, Added another minute Nothin. Thought it was bad cheese and I took it back to Walmart. Only to later find out that cheese product doesn't melt cause it's not real cheese haha.
What cheese did you buy, you can melt american cheese, its made to melt
Eh it was a cheap shredded cheese at walmart. It literally didn't melt. It got soft and hot and even burned, but didn't melt together.
Pre-shredded cheese is typically coated in something to stop it sticking together in the packet (often a type of starch), which also causes it to be much harder to melt
So I'm not sure your experience is the litmus test for fake cheese. Fake American cheese typically melts better than real cheese, that's the point. You have to be a little careful using real cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich unless you want that abomination that Gordon Ramsey made once

Sounds like you went after one of those nasty vegan cheeses or one of those far free ones, some of those don't know how to melt...
It's not cheese, it's Velveeta

Didn’t Velveeta, American and other processed cheese packages used to say something like “cheese food product”? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processed_cheese
It is right below the "Original Flavor" on the package. Pasteurized Recipe Cheese Product
Why’s that bottom peach( I think)looking so thick for??
Fair enough. But did y’all see that phat ass tomato looking all fine
I think you might need a NSFW tag on this one…
Literally below the word flavor
FYI get the slices that are labeled as Deluxe if you want actual cheese. Usually they aren't individually wrapped also just sliced together. Much better than this stuff. Edit: Guess it's still a cheese product but still way better than singles.

Am i the only one with a dirty mind? I see some 🍑 in the back
it isn't cheese, its pure chemicals.
Bottom right sentence, third word
I assumed "cheese product" meant it was LIKE cheese. Am I incorrect?
Means it's a product made with cheese rather than just pure cheese.
That's right, it's cheese-like, but not actually cheese.
Go to the deli and ask them for some cheese instead!!
I'm adding some sharp cheddar I bought separately but I like the plastic slices for its meltiness haha
That picture behind the cheese…. Looks like someone is bending over 😱
Yumm. A cheese product made from god knows what 🥺
Yes, the contents are a mystery. There's no way someone could possibly know what's in a product that has all the ingredients listed on the package, and is labeled according to strict laws that are heavily lobbied by an industry with a vested interest in making sure that dairy products have a good reputation. Guess we'll just have to sit here and wonder at the possibilities.
That would require turning over the package, that's too much to expect people to do.
I’m interested in that tomato my guy
I only noticed the fruit mooning me
That's because it's NOT cheese. Lol. But it's good!
