Title.
It feels like such a waste.
EDIT: This is the type of cheese I am referring to. It comes wrapped in a piece of plastic then bundled together with x more and all of them get covered in plastic
That’s how it’s made. They melt cheese with emulsifying salts, squirt it into a plastic envelope, and it cools into the shape of the wrapper.
thanks, i’m immediately going to continue never eating the disguising “cheese” slices ever again.
It’s for lazy people. I get the ones that aren’t wrapped. They’re cheaper too.
if i buy the store brand american cheese at my supermarket, they’re not individually packed and aren’t really that hard to separate on their own, so lmao idk why Kraft does that.
American cheese apparently melts so at least it makes some kind of sense.
Kraft singles in Australia are basically made from the same plastic as the packaging and are in no danger of melting or being mistaken for cheese.
I’m pretty sure that wrapping is part of the manufacturing process of the “cheese slice”. It matches the contours of the wrapping too perfectly.
To get some free cheese with all that plastic you’re buying
I have never encountered this product. Can you give a brand/product name example?
So, what’s the yellow stuff for? To keep the bags from sticking together?
I never understood why Americans eat this so called cheese. Why cant they just buy like real cheese that melts? It serves the same purpose but is actually cheese with lots of taste and aroma. I just dont get it.
It makes us feel very French to eat cheddar fond.
American here. That oily “cheese” is gross. We have normal cheese, even normal pre-sliced cheese that doesn’t have the plastic film wrapping it. The brand I normally get for sandwiches has a plastic zip-lock package, and the slices themselves are separated by wax paper. I prefer the pepper jack, but sometimes I go for swiss or provolone.
I’m American and don’t get it either. When I was younger that was the only cheese I knew and I decided I didn’t like cheese because of it. It took a long time to realize that stuff isn’t real cheese and that the real stuff is very good.
I also think it isn’t legal to call some of it “cheese”. I know Kraft singles at the very least uses some deceptive phrasing to say it’s cheese-like or cheese-flavored or something like that instead of calling it “cheese”.
