Low-fat American Cheese
Low-fat American cheese is a processed dairy product that reduces fat content by using skim milk and milk protein concentrates instead of whole milk. While maintaining the mild flavor and smooth melting properties characteristic of traditional American cheese, this version contains approximately 30-50% less fat but often compensates with added sodium and stabilizers. It provides a concentrated source of calcium and protein while appealing to calorie-conscious diets, though its processed nature may concern those prioritizing whole-food ingredients.
