Processed cheese
"pasteurized process cheddar, swiss, and provolone cheese" s, such as this one from the Netherlands, may be considered processed cheese in the broad sense. Processed cheese (also known as process cheese; related terms include cheese food, prepared cheese, cheese product, and government cheese) is a product made from cheese mixed with an emulsifying agent (actually a calcium chelator). Additional ingredients, such as unfermented dairy ingredients, salt, vegetable oils, sugar, or food coloring may be included. As a result, many flavors, colors, and textures of processed cheese exist. Processed cheese typically contains around 50–60% cheese and 40–50% other ingredients.
