When people think about cheese, the image they summon to mind is usually the easiest type of cheese to find at the grocery store: American cheese. American cheese almost always comes pre-sliced and often in pre-packaged slices (like Kraft Singles), and it's a bright orange-yellow color, similar to the sharper-tasting cheddar cheese. That orange-yellow usually isn't a natural cheese color, though; cheddar cheese is artificially colored with a seed-based food coloring called annatto. What's more, American cheese has a whole lot else inside it. In fact, the packaging for American cheese usually calls it a "cheese product" instead of just "cheese."

Food labels can be confusing. There are so many different terms that sound like they should mean the same thing, but don’t—except for the times that they do. Wait, what?. Take dairy-free and non-dairy, for example. Both terms imply that a product doesn’t contain any dairy, and often, that is genuinely the case. But not always. Legally, the term non-dairy actually allows for some milk-derived products to be used. It’s a little bit complicated, so let’s dive in.
