Deli Deluxe American Cheese Slices

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Kraft Deli Deluxe American Cheese Slices scores 58/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

At 58/100 Kraft Deli Deluxe American Cheese Slices lands mid-scale — below the typical score in cheese, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in cheese is Organic Valley Organic String Cheese at 97/100.
