There are two products that are called "American cheese". Look at these two labels, one says "pasteurized process cheese" and the other says "pasteurized process cheese product". This legal distinction is important.
The former, the deli style American cheese like you'd purchase in blocks or from a deli counter, is actual colby and cheddar cheese with emulsifying salts to improve melting capability.
The latter, the "singles" product with individually wrapped squares, is essentially a cold coagulated cheese sauce that is made with added milk and whey. It is largely considered to be an inferior product to the deli style American cheese.
