Would YOU eat THIS?

[GrillingFool]

Without looking it up on the net, just based on this list of the ingredients....

would you eat this?

Milk And Part-Skim Milk, Water, Whey, Milkfat, Sodium Phosphate, Contains Less Than 2% Of Dried Corn Syrup, Salt, Worcestershire Sauce (Vinegar, Water, Molasses, Corn Syrup, Salt, Sugar, Caramel Color, Dried Garlic, Spice, Anchovies, Tamarino, Natural Preservative, Annatto (Color), Oleoresin Paprika, Enzymes

I'll tell you what it is later.....

No, we don't eat highly processed foods.

 

[bigdaddy3k]

I'll eat it.

 

[Andy M.]

I've eaten it before but not in recent decades. Not that I wouldn't, I just don't.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

I doubt it.

 

[jennyema]

I think it has ingredients missing from the list as there is no annatto in Worcestershire sauce ... Plus the ingredients as they are don't make sense to me without more stuff. Possibly a sauce or a dressing.

So I'll reserve judgement.

 

[velochic]

Possibly a sauce or a dressing.

That was my first thought... some sort of commercially processed salad dressing.

 

[ChefJune]

no. based on my allergy to corn syrup and my moderate lactose intolerance, whatever that is would make me one sick cookie. and I'm not interested in "sick" when I can avoid it.

I've read the ingredient list on packaged foods (and I do mean all of them) before I purchase for at least 25 years.

cheese in a can? if that's it, i havent had it in a very long time

 

[Andy M.]

My earlier post was based on my assumption this is Cheez Whiz.

 

[jennyema]

The annatto would make sense then. But it's probably missing a lot of other ingredients.

I'd eat it in limited situations.

 

[velochic]

Ah, yes, the ubiquitous "natural" yellow food coloring annatto. Now I'm starting to think that it might be some sort of processed cheese as well. But we don't eat that stuff, so still no.

I will eat them with a mouse.
I will eat them in a house.
I will eat them here or there.
I will eat them anywhere.

 

[GrillingFool]

Cheez Whiz it is!
I admit I expected a lot more obtuse chemical names in the ingredient list.
Interesting.

Here's the list for Kraft Mac and Cheese mix:

”whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate, contains less than 2% of citric acid, sodium phosphate, lactic acid, milk, calcium phosphate, yellow 5, yellow 6, cheese culture, enzymes.

I would have never expected to find anchovies in cheese whiz.

 

[Cookbook Shop]

Aaaah, Cheez Whiz.... good guess! I haven't eaten that stuff for 40 years...

 

[GrillingFool]

Interesting comparison.... for 1 ounce of each:
..................CHEEZ WHIZ ............Cheddar Cheese
Calories ........... 91................................ 113
Fat ...................6.9................................ 9
Cholesterol....... 25................................. 29
Sodium........... 541............................... 179
Carbs ..............3................................... 0
Protien............ 4................................... 7

The salt doesn't surprise me, but I thought it would be higher in calories, fat and cholesterol too.

 

[Andy M.]

Cheez Whiz is a thick cheese sauce - not comparing like products when you compare it to a chunk of real cheese.

Any cheese in the Whiz is diluted with those other non-cheese products.

In Canada, Kraft makes Cheese Whiz using actual cheese.
