Consumers May Be Cheesed Off: Velveeta In Short Supply

Playoff parties may have one fewer dip option this year.

Kraft Foods says some customers may not be able to find Velveeta cheese over the next few weeks. A representative for the company, Jody Moore, didn’t give any reasons for the apparent shortage, saying only that they happen from time to time given the “nature of manufacturing.”

She noted that the lack of availability is more noticeable because of the seasonal demand during the NFL playoffs. The company has been airing TV commercials featuring a recipe for a chili con queso dip made with Velveeta.

Velvetta is the "un-cheese," classified as cheese food, not whole milk 100% cheese.

Marketing ploy to ensure that people go out and stock up on it for the super bowl.

True that 4:38, more than likely they have a lot left after the holidays and need to unload it before it starts turning green! Check that expiration date!

Bring back gov't cheese!

Don't eat it! It's loaded with chemicals and is over processed. Just the thought of eating a "cheese" product that doesn't need to be refrigerated, is enough to make anyone who is even slightly concerned with their health, vomit.
