Also pure loving lol at someone going "u add sodium citrate to make cheese melty" and then everyone else immediately jumping to that being a slippery slope to imitation cheese lol

Ok so the latter example in the post below isnt cheese and doesn't pretend to be proper cheese. It's clearly labelled as "imitation".

But lets take the ingredients from the first example here:

"MILK, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES), WHEY, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE,
MILKFAT"

are all things that belong in cheese, i bet u would find them in more than 60% of cheeses worldwide. Salt is cool everyone loves salt enhancing the flavour.

"SODIUM CITRATE"

So, citric acid. Y'know, from oranges. Makes it melt better. I've seen cheese with actual whole rear end orange rind in so a derivative acid clearly doesn't make it less cheese.

"CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF"

Ok so like, think "two people in one hundred"

"CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH. WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SALT, LACTIC ACID, ANNATTO AND PAPRIKA EXTRACT (COLOR). NATAMYCIN (A NATURAL MOLD INHIBITOR), ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE, VITAMIN D3."

Ok so we got calcium and vitamin d3, those are both good and in most cheeses id wager. The food starch is helping the fats in the cheese to not separate out and become an oily mess. Lactic acid, annatto and natamycin are all fine for human consumption and stop it from going weird and giving someone e. coli or botulism or w/e. And the rest are all just normal cheese things?

So what's the problem???

Nope. When people talk about cheese melting, there's really two different things they mean depending on context.

Arby's is a fast food roast beef place that you only go to if you hate life. Whoever is a regular enough customer that the cashier knows their usual, they have hosed up.

Hate life? That's kind of a strong way of putting it but I do eat at Arby's so basically yeah you got me pegged.

This internet game is crazy.
