'''Cheez Whiz''' is a thick [[processed cheese]] sauce or [[cheese spread|spread]] sold by [[Kraft Foods]]. The bright, yellow, viscous liquid usually comes in a glass [[jar]], and is used as a topping for [[corn chips]], [[hot dogs]], [[cheesesteak]]s, [[celery]], and other foods. It is marketed in the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Venezuela]], and the [[Philippines]]. |
|||
Cheez Whiz is one of a number of "processed cheese foods", a category including similar products like [[Velveeta]] and some types of individually-wrapped cheese slices. These products contain regular [[cheese]] that has been reprocessed along with additional ingredients such as emulsifiers and stabilizing agents, such as [[xanthan gum]] or [[carrageenan]]. These products derive their tanginess and [[flavor]] from additional ingredients such as [[citric acid]] and flavoring compounds. [[Annatto]] is used for coloring. |
|||
The product has been sold in a narrow jar that tapered towards the base when sold as a spread. When Cheese Whiz is advertised as a dip or a sauce, the jars are larger and more of a squat cylindrical shape. |
|||
Products include: |
|||
* Cheez Whiz |
|||
* Cheez Whiz Light |
|||
* Cheez Whiz Tex Mex |
|||
* Salsa Con Queso |
|||
Cheez Whiz can also be found in "Handi Snacks", such as [[Ritz Crackers|Ritz]] Cheez Whiz 'n' Crackers in Canada. |
|||
Cheez Whiz was reformulated in the early 21st Century to include both a changed formula, and a new, wider jar that allows dipping straight from the container. This new formula applies to the Cheez Whiz Light 15.5 oz and the Original Big Cheese 15 oz packages. |
