"American cheese is processed cheese made from a blend of milk, milk fats and solids, other fats and whey protein concentrate. Earlier, it was made from a mixture of cheeses, more often than not Colby and Cheddar. Since blended cheeses are no longer used, it cannot be legally called “cheese” and has to be labelled as “processed cheese”, “cheese product“, etc. "
Mt Athos, (Oros Ἄθως) I stand corrected ! I should have said that it has dairy, but is not technically "Cheese"!
