What it is

Pasteurized process Swiss and American cheese is a blend of natural Swiss and American cheeses that have been heated with an emulsifier and then cooled. This process creates a cheese product that melts smoothly and has a longer shelf life than natural cheese. It is often used in processed cheese products and as a topping.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pasteurized process Swiss and American cheese for its smooth melting properties and consistent texture. It is commonly found in frozen entrees, sandwiches, sauces, and snack products where a melty cheese component is desired.

Pasteurized process Swiss and American cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar cheese products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
