that a lot of the cheese on the market is equivalent to plastic food. Not necessarily MADE with plastic, I’m not saying that, but it’s not aged properly.<<<
For years, they said Velveeta was made of wood shavings, LOL, I think cellulose or something like that is an ingredient.
For myself, I buy cheese in 5# blocks and want real cheese, not the velveeta stuff.
But the last couple times, Safeway had only 2# blocks and it is softer than Cheddar should be and not as tasty.
For the last 50 years, I had thought that never would I get a bad milk product from Safeway, now I don’t know.
I use 5 to 10# a month for myself, so am in trouble if the supply is not going to be right.
Walmart’s cheese makes me nervous, I am at a point that Walmart scares me and walmart is what I can afford to buy.
My brother in law used to own a pizza shop, and he said the same thing. The price fluctuated a lot, and many times the water content was so high it was difficult to grate easily even with a commercial grater. It was just soggy and hard to use. And he wasn't even worried about nutritional quality or additives!
If I hear of anything or run across anything that can help you I will post it right away. I hope the situation doesn't get worse... but then I guess that's why we're here on this thread.
