How much water content is in American cheese?

The water content in American cheese can vary, but typically ranges from 40% to 50%.

Here's why there's a range:

* Different recipes: The specific recipe and ingredients used can affect the water content.

* Moisture levels: Some manufacturers might produce cheese with slightly higher or lower moisture levels.

* Age and storage: As cheese ages, it naturally loses moisture.

However, on average, American cheese is considered a semi-hard cheese with a moderate water content.
