cheese product

Not real cheddar

Cheese product is a processed food that contains cheese but doesn't meet the legal standards to be labeled simply as cheese.

These products typically include additional ingredients like emulsifiers, oils, or fillers that extend shelf life and improve meltability: American cheese product, cheese product slices.

The term appears on packaging as a regulatory requirement, distinguishing these foods from natural or traditionally processed cheese.
