"Cheez Whiz is the jarred, shelf-stable cheese sauce sold by Kraft — not to be confused with the spray cheese called Easy Cheese sold in an aerosol can. When Cheez Whiz got its start, it was made mostly of cheese — albeit extremely processed. As ridiculously American as the product may seem, it was actually manufactured with Brits in mind."
"The British dish called Welsh rarebit is made using a difficult-to-make cheese sauce. Kraft searched for a simpler solution. In 1952, Cheez Whiz was born, introduced solely to the British market. In 1953, Cheez Whiz made its way across the pond to the United States."
"Here are the ingredients of Cheez Whiz, according to the Kraft website: whey, milk, canola oil, maltodextrin, milk protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, contains less than 2% of modified food starch, salt, lactic acid, whey protein concentrate, mustard flour, Worcestershire sauce (vinegar, molasses, corn syrup, water, salt, caramel color, garlic powder, sugar, spices (contains celery), tamarind, natural flavor), sodium alginate, sorbic acid as a preservative, color added, cheese culture, enzymes, natural flavor."
