Kraft Singles American Cheese, 96 Slices, 4 lbs

Kraft Singles American Cheese, 96 Slices (4 lbs) are made with a processed cheese blend designed for consistent melt, mild flavor, and smooth texture. The base of the slices includes milk and milkfat, which provide the creamy foundation, along with water to help achieve the signature soft, uniform consistency. To support structure and protein content, milk protein concentrate and whey are incorporated.

For smooth melting and stability, emulsifying salts such as sodium citrate and calcium phosphate are used, helping the cheese maintain its texture when heated. Salt and lactic acid contribute mild tang and balanced flavor, while enzymes support cheese development. To maintain freshness, sorbic acid is included as a preservative, and annatto (color) is added in small amounts to give the slices their familiar American cheese appearance.
