You Probably Have The Worst American Cheese Brand In Your Fridge Now
BY Mathieson Nishimura
After reviewing and ranking eight store-bought American cheese slices, Tasting Table was surprised to find that Kraft was the worst offering available.
The methodology involved assessing texture and flavor at both cold and hot temperatures. Though Kraft does nail that ooey-gooey cheesy texture, that's about where the magic ends.
When eating a slice cold, our tester said it tastes sharp and tangy but has a distinctly plastic feel. It melts like a dream when heated, but it also loses the complex flavor notes.
Redditors have criticized Kraft, citing its bland taste and glaringly artificial color. Some even complain that the cheese no longer melts like it used to.
The ingredient list is a point of concern. Kraft's American cheese has an ingredient list that's a mile long and filled with ingredients anyone would struggle to pronounce.
