Kraft Singles
Kraft Singles are individually wrapped slices of pasteurized prepared cheese product by the US brand Kraft, sold since 1965.
Kraft Singles are slices of pasteurized prepared cheese product from Kraft, a brand of The Kraft Heinz Company (USA). Each slice is wrapped in its own film, the form in which Kraft Singles have been sold since 1965.
The label calls the product a pasteurized prepared cheese product. It is not natural cheese but a processed cheese product: cheese and dairy ingredients are melted into a smooth mass and formed into thin slices. That is why the slices do not crumble, melt evenly and keep their shape in the pack.
The range includes classic American (yellow), White American, Pepper Jack with hot peppers and thicker Ultra Thick slices. The maker states that the slices are made with dairy and without artificial flavours or dyes.
How to use: in burgers and cheeseburgers, melts, grilled cheese, with eggs and omelettes and in sauces for macaroni. Keep refrigerated.
Why it matters to you: if you want natural cheese, look for the word cheese without "product" on the pack; the difference is explained under Processed cheese and cheese products.
