Cheese sauce

Mass-produced commercial cheese sauces are also made by various companies, in both liquid and dry forms.

Cheez Whiz is an American brand of processed cheese spread produced by Kraft Foods since the 1950s.

[27][28] In the U.S., commercial preparations are available to consumers in grocery stores and are used in family-style, casual and fast food restaurants.

[1][29][30] Mass-produced cheese sauce is typically prepared aseptically and then packaged in sterile cans, bottles and bag-in-box containers.

[16] Such aseptically processed cheese sauces are typically shelf-stable, requiring no refrigeration until opened.

[42] Additionally, commercial cheese sauce formulations have been used as an ingredient in processed canned vegetables in the United States.

[46] In July 2018, Kraft Heinz issued a voluntary nationwide product recall in the United States of around 100,000 jars of cheese dip,[47][48] due to a potential for the growth of Clostridium botulinum because of ingredient separation.
