for decades I thought this stuff was really bad and made from vegetable oil or something, but turns out it's actual cheese with some food glue and it's not that bad afterall
It's just the cheese that hits the floor in one factory, gets put in a bin stored until the bin is full shipped to another factory, and then gets processed down to these products. I will say that the cheese factory my uncle worked at wasclean as hell they follow so many regulations.
Velveeta ingredients as listed on actual boxes/packages I found online! :) *1940's Velveeta* "Velveeta is a dairy product composed of process american cheese pasteurized with added condensed whey, skim milk solids, and cream. It contains 44% of moisture and 23% of butterfat. The condensed whey adds to the product milk sugar and milk minerals lost in the making of american cheese." *50's/60's VELVEETA* "pasteurized process cheese food" "American Cheese, condensed whey, nonfat dry milk solids, water, cream, sodium phosphate, salt, artificial color. Moisture 44%, Milkfat 23%" *70's Velveeta* "American and swiss cheese, condensed whey, water, nonfat dry milk, sodium phosphate, cream, salt, artificial color. Moisture 46%, milkfat 20%" *80's Velveeta* "Natural Cheese (American [cheddar(milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes) and Colby]), water, whey, sodium phosphate, whey protein concentrate, skim milk, milkfat, salt, annatto and apocarotenal (color)" *2022 Velveeta* *_
Yes! The government approved ingredient list for 2022 velveta is FANTASTIC! Same product as always, just detailed per "governmental" authority. Wait until 2050, the government ingredient listing requirements will be at a microscopic level. LMFAO you guys.
It's more cancer causing chemicals than cheese. This is why Kraft cannot call there products cheese, they call it Kraft Singles. The guy in this video is definitely being paid by the dairy industry to misinform the public on the hazards of these products.
They use chemicals not in non American cheese so that all the different cheeses they use can stick together. Yes it is in fact linked to cancer but mostly because of the milk but that’s a different topic.
it's midnight and I have exams next week. WTF am i doing watching this. but in all seriousness, thanks for the info! I never knew that about processed cheese.
0:58 That is incorrect! The FDA does not regulate “Pasturized process cheese spread” or “product” and those can have any varying type of ingredients. However the FDA does regulate “Pasturized process cheese” which is 95% real cheese and “pasturized process cheese food” which is at least 49% real cheese and other specific dairy ingredients. In short get the good stuff like Kraft Deli Deluxe (Not Kraft Singles) or a good Deli brand like Hoffman house or Boarshead and you’re eating good quality melting real cheese. Furthermore emulsifiers are not “food glue” what a misleading thing to say unless you think lecithin in egg yolks, mustard or sodium citrate (citric acid) from fruits is gross. Yes there are some more chemically sounding ones but sodium citrate is the most common in “American” cheese, (originally invented by the Swiss.)
Unisaurus Rex Other chemicals such as emulsifiers, artificial starches, artificial proteins, added chemicals to preserve shelf life, I could name tons, but these types of "cheeses" are all really disgusting once you actually know what the heck is going on in these foods
Bison Funyuns talks shit about how "really disgusting" these products are because of the ingredients... yet, has "Funyuns" (a product by PepsiCo) in his username. Ohhhh... the irony!
It's a mixture of...other cheeses. Why is this a problem? Sure it's not a pedigree breed of cheese like Camembert or Gouda, but all the ingredients are still...cheese
@@snorrsenkel568 But if you absolutely had to you could. Some people can’t afford the natural cheeses since they’re more expensive. I only get this kind of cheese if I absolutely have to if I’m running low on money (my son loves Mac and cheese and stuff with cheese on it or plain cheese by itself so cheese almost always has to be in the house). I don’t like to buy it but if I have to I do.
@@haldir3120 it depends on the type of cheese you get. It can also save time from making a cheese sauce thing. Also for me it really saves money since I end up using 3-6 different cheeses for Mac and cheese which comes to more than $5-$6 which is how much velveeta cheese is so it really is cheaper since $3-$4 per bag of cheese equals $9-$24 of non velveeta cheese and a block of velveeeta cheese is $5.48. Velveeta Singles the slices $2.68 for 16 slices or $3.58 for 24 slices are cheaper than Kraft singles $3.48 for 16 slices and $4.18 for 24 slices (I do not like the store brand singles so I used Kraft unless I get the deluxe cheese then I’ll get store brand because it’s cheaper but they’ve been out near me lately). 8oz Velveeta shredded cheese is $2 and an 8oz thing of store brand shredded cheese is $1.98 so a 2 cent difference. So it definitely can be cheaper or the same price. It probably depends on where you live too.
Kraft didn't invent it. They bought the recipe and changed it. It was invented in 1918 by Emil Frey of the "Monroe Cheese Company" in Monroe, New York. In 1923, "The Velveeta Cheese Company" was incorporated as a separate company.

Problem? Why is this bad? They're not labeling it as Cheddar or something else. It's clearly stated as a different product. The government knows about it.
"Real Cheese" means something entirely different by legsl terms than it does by normal terms, then. It's still made with real cheese but it's not '100%' cheese.
When it comes to cheese, I am anti American. With so many delicious Mexican, Italian, French...cheeses, why the hell eat plastic cheese? Ps I love America.
Sorry but kraft didn't invented Velveeta. He did buy them out, but it was invented by someone else. Once kraft bought it they changed the recipe because they found it too expensive to make, so they added more preservatives and other garbage
I live in Ireland and I never even heard of processed cheese. Only ever eat natural cheeses like cheddar, camembert, brie, edam, gouda, and so on. The idea of eating something made from old cheese mixed with new cheese sounds a bit crazy.... and not very good for our health.
Idk what's in this crap I've been eating, but if you haven't tried the cheese's packaged in wax (i call it fancy cheese) you haven't been eating cheese, I'll never go back
There is absolutely nothing wrong with processed cheese, its just as good, even better than socalled normal cheese. In the same way as battery chickens and eggs are far better and healthier and more tasty than Free Range chicken or eggs. I know, l used to believe all that woke nonsense until like the Prodigal Son, l came to my senses.
I'm really glad I got to watch this cheese fest. Just when you thought something along the lines of a miracle would happen. " Cheeze Whiz. I would eat that too.." I just wanted to see how processed cheese slices were made. I didn't need Doctor WHO? Explaining old cheese + new cheese = processed cheese but didn't show how it was made.
Processed cheese is actually plastic when you remove the water content. Leave a slice out in the sun for a few days and see. It turns into a small brown hard plastic.
Leave any cheese out for a few days uncovered it’ll turn hard as a rock. Even natural cheeses my son hasn’t covered back up (he’s 4) right and it can get hard as a rock and when you knock on it it sounds like knocking on plastic. That’s just how cheese is. Take moisture out of anything it can seem like plastic.
They still make cheez whiz??? Whoever said it's a wonder an entire book can be made of this info, you scared me!!! LoL i only eat real cheez, oh and cheez doodles!
I'm trying to figure out what emotional and/or psychological state I'd have to be in to read an entire book on cheese.

Same goes for writing a book about cheese.
