Kraft Singles ingredients: what's banned overseas?

About Kraft Singles

Kraft Singles are individually wrapped processed cheese slices produced by Kraft Heinz and sold at grocery chains and mass retailers across the US. They are the most widely consumed processed cheese slices in the US and are labeled as 'pasteurized prepared cheese product' (not cheese). Kraft Singles have been an American household staple since the 1950s.

Common concerns with Kraft Singles products

Kraft Singles contain sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, and calcium phosphate as emulsifying salts — multiple processed additives that can raise concerns at high consumption levels. The product is labeled 'cheese product' not 'cheese' because it does not meet FDA standards for natural cheese. Some varieties contain artificial colors. High sodium (240–260mg per slice) and multiple emulsifiers are the primary flags.
