Easy Cheese. Cheez Whiz. The bright orange can in the cracker aisle. Spray cheese is basically the poster child for ultra-processed food. But does cheese in a can have to be that way?
What’s Actually in Traditional Spray Cheese
Kraft Easy Cheese includes: whey, canola oil, milk protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, sodium alginate, lactic acid, sorbic acid, artificial color, and artificial flavor. There’s barely any cheese in it.
By any definition — NOVA classification, common sense, or just reading the label — it’s ultra-processed.
Why People Still Love Spray Cheese
Because it’s fun. It’s convenient. Kids love it. The format isn’t the problem — the ingredients are.
A Clean Version Actually Exists
Credo’s Oat Milk Spray Cheeze uses oat milk as the base instead of canola oil. It comes in Cheddar and Smoky flavors, both free of seed oils, artificial colors, and artificial preservatives.
Same fun format. Real food inside the can. The 6-pack bundle lets you try both flavors.
