It tastes okay yeah but the "real" stuff i.e. the "deli style" is just as expensive as cheddar or colby, while the "cheese product" tier stuff is bland and plastic-like.

Learn the difference between "processed cheese" and "processed cheese food/product."

American cheese is just a blend of cheddar and colby.

American cheese food/product is the same thing just with added whey/other dairy products.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it. It works just fine on sandwiches/burgers/eggs/etc. and it's cheap.

Sure there are better options for all of the above, but most of us aren't made of money, so American cheese has a place in our fridge alongside every other "real" cheese.

You're thinking of Kraft singles.

If it says "pasteurized process American cheese," then it's real cheese.

If it says "cheese food" or "cheese product," then it's not real cheese.

So einfach ist das.

The only time when this is the correct answer.

One more for fun, since this package looks closer to how kraft packages their cheese product versions.
