    That’s not American cheese.

    That’s the kraft “cheese food product”.

    American cheese is essentially Swiss that hasn’t aged.

    Edit: looks like they’ve changed the label, but it still says “cheese product”, so NOT cheese, kraft even admits it.

      Swiss that hasn’t aged

      But “Swiss cheese” isn’t a thing in itself either. The term is used solely in the US.

      Switzerland has all kinds of very different kinds of cheese. Aged and young ones.

      Kraft is obligated by food regulations. They can not call a product “cheese” if it is not a certain percentage cheese.
