VELVEETA - CHEESE - REGULAR
Ingredients: MILK, WATER, MILKFAT, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ALGINATE, SODIUM CITRATE, APOCAROTENAL (COLOR), ANNATTO (COLOR), ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE.

i.e. no gelatin. Is gelatin listed in non-US Velveeta? Because otherwise this should be removed.

:The main idea of Velveeta cheese is the whey is reincorporated with the curd. ] (]) 23:43, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

::The whey is added merely for flavouring.
::Let's go through the ingredients -
::1 - Milk, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, enzymnes and cheese culture are used to make the cheese. Kraft uses milkfat and protein concentrate as they can be imported cheap from New Zealand and Australia as they are not subject to dairy import restrictions.
::2 - Whey is used to give it a "dairy" flavour. The concentrate is not subject to import quotas and tariffs, as above.
::3 - Sodium phospate and sodium citrate are mineral salts which absorb water so no drying and maturing of the cheese is required. Its also doesn't need refrigeration before opening.
::4 - Alginate is a gum derived from seaweed. It is used instead of milkfat to give bulk. This is the principal reason Velveeta fails to comply with FDA regulations for milk content.
::5 - Apocartenol and annato are natural colours obtained from unicellular organisms and a plant respectively. Otherwise Velveeta would be white. ] (]) 01:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Is velveeta really a food or a form of edible plastic? Usually when I leave cheese out of the fridge, after a couple of days it ages and molds. I left this out for a science project a good month and a half and not a thing happened to it. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 08:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:That's probably due to the heroic salt content and overall low moisture despite the smooth texture (achieved by fat).
::The mineral salts absorb the water so there is none available for the mould to grow on. The principal sales advantage of Kraft processed cheese outside USA (particularly in third world countries) is that is does not require refrigeration before opening.] (]) 01:03, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

== Did Kraft change Velveeta? ==

It doesn't seem to melt like it used to. Was the recipe for Velveeta changed? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 21:50, 25 December 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:It now contains the gum alginate, reducing the fat content. When heated, the gum separates from the other ingredients.] (]) 01:08, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

== Info Box is Silly ==

"Source of milk: cow" ?!?

Cute, but not quite encyclopedia-grade work there, ya?

== oh wait now that i've looked at a bunch of cheese articles, i see the info box on most of them and "source of milk : cows" is to differentiate from goat's milk cheeses. i thought it was a joke at first. sorry. ---though the issue of whether velveeta even ~is~ an actual "cheese" remains debatable.

== Stale reference ==

Reference #4 (Velveeta and Stove Top Plugs December 1984 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO6bPFZEeZw) points to a no longer existing YouTube video. Presumably a better link should be added or the reference should be removed. --] (]) 01:40, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
