Cheez Whiz is a thick processed cheese sauce or spread sold by Kraft Foods.
It was developed by a team led by food scientist Edwin Traisman (1915-2007)
and was first marketed in 1953.[1]
The bright yellow, viscous paste usually comes in a glass jar, and is used
as a topping for corn chips, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, celery, and other
foods. It is marketed in the United States, Canada, Venezuela, and the
Philippines.
Cheez Whiz is one of a number of "processed cheese foods", a category
including some types of individually-wrapped cheese slices. These products
contain regular cheese that has been reprocessed along with additional
ingredients such as emulsifiers and stabilizing agents, such as xanthan gum
or carrageenan. These products derive their tanginess and flavor from
additional ingredients such as citric acid and flavoring compounds. Annatto
is used for coloring.
The product has been sold in a narrow jar that tapered towards the base when
sold as a spread. When Cheese Whiz is advertised as a dip or a sauce, the
jars are larger and more of a squat cylindrical shape.
Products include:
Cheez Whiz
Cheez Whiz Light
Cheez Whiz Tex Mex
Salsa Con Queso
Cheez Whiz Italia
Cheez Whiz can also be found in "Handi Snacks", such as Ritz Cheez Whiz 'n'
Crackers in Canada.
Cheez Whiz was reformulated in the early 21st Century to include both a
changed formula, and a new, wider jar that allows dipping straight from the
container. This new formula applies to the Cheez Whiz Light 15.5 oz and the
Original Big Cheese 15 oz packages.
