>buying your cheese in a gas station

>>6972076
Doesn't that mean it's had most of it's water removed?

>>6972094
I did some research. Appearantly it means less than 51% cheese is actually in it.

If you live on the US/Canadian border, why is the package in English/Spanish and not English/French?

>why is the package in English/Spanish and not English/French?

Did you even read the original post? I bought it in the U.S.A.

U.S.A. = English/Spanish and Canada = English/French.

Just because we live in close proximity, doesn't mean we share laws. I thought this was common sense?

In America, labels are in English and French on the Canadian border

...what..what is the other 49%? Wood pulp?

>Legally, processed cheese cannot be sold as “cheese”. It needs to be called a “cheese food”. In fact, the FDA highly regulates how products can be labeled based on their cheese ingredient, moisture content, and milkfat:

>* Pasteurized process cheese - contains 100% cheese
>* Pasteurized process cheese food - contains at least 51% cheese.
>* Pasteurized process cheese product - contains less than 51% cheese.

This is very cheap "cheese"
When a bag of shredded cheese cost $4.00, you cant be suprised the stuff thats $1.50 is not "real"

>go across the boarder to buy food at a gas station
>wtf 'murrica, why you eat such shit?!!

If you're going to bother crossing the boarder just get gas and duty free...

>OH SHIT AMERICA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!??

We're maintaining simple, clear standards for food labeling so that consumers can make informed choices about what they buy and eat, unlike in Canada where cheese companies can sell you plastic without your knowledge.

>>6972076
When the FDA won't legally allow them to use the word "cheese" anywhere in the name or description, you KNOW it's bad.

"Process Topping" reminds me of the "Food Product" genre of quasi-foods.

>>6972144

Only the Chinks and poo in the loos do that. Those cheap fucks who need to stock their convenience stores and don't like the concept of supporting local farmers.

This.

You can walk into a Kroger and find slews of gourmet cheeses, even unpasteurized.
