No, it does not.

The FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk. So each Kraft American single contains less than 51% curds, which means it doesn't meet the FDA's standard.

Now I wonder what is the absolute bare minimum percentage of cheese would be needed to even be considered Pasteurized processed American cheese food.

Let's get it a new category so that it's about as much cheese is to cheese as Tang is to orange juice.

0%. Easy Cheese contains whey, milk protein solids, and cheese cultures, which are related to cheese, but not actual cheese curds.
