Slices are now smaller than bread , too thin too

Personally I think this cheese is just 'OK'. It's often too salty in my opinion, but not always. The manufacturer seems to have reduced the size of slice so it no longer is the size of a slice of sandwich bread. At 160 slices it's awfully thin, too. I understand (sadly) at this time in American all corporations are pushing profits above customer concerns, and I think Sam's is doing this, as evidenced by this cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love Sams and have been a member for over 40 years. That's a lot of membership dues, huh? Anyway, it seems as though there's no consideration of customer opinion, though I'm sure most customers just accept the changes and go one, feeling helpless to effect change. I don't expect this review to change anyone's shopping choices; I have been looking online for the last 20 minutes for alternatives to this product, with little success. The nexus of quality and price is elusive.

Grill cheese anyone?

Cheese lovers will find this block convenient for busy lives. The flavor of this product is much better than the plastic-wrapped alternative singles. We use freezer bags and separate the block into 8 bundles to keep it fresher. Similar style blocks are available at local grocery stores at a higher price with a lower value. We have found Member's Mark to be a reliable brand of quality of products.

Bio-Engineered Ingredient

Ive been buying this cheese for years and we all love it, however I noticed recently with all of the attention on healthy food, this cheese has Bio-engineered ingredient, it's listed in a new section right under all of they're address in Bentonville AR. They don't say exactly what it is, but I stopped buying this product.

Cheese

Seems to be ok. I don't eat cheese personally. Fam does. Melts well. But it is cheese food. If I remember correctly years ago it was real cheese & why I bought it. Never checked it again til this year so idk when it changed to processed. When it was real cheese, excellent value. Now it is on par with other processed cheese food

JIGSAW PUZZLE CHEESE

I wish there was an option to give a Negative-Star rating, because that’s what I would give this cheese, but the review can’t be submitted without first rating it, so I’ll give it one star for the flavor. Would I recommend this product to a friend? Absolutely not!!! That said, I will never waste my money on any Members’ Mark cheese again. The flavor of this cheese is okay but nowhere near as good as the American cheese made by Mid-America Farms, and the texture is very strange, in that it has a pasty feel in your mouth, and yet the slices are so fragile and brittle that you can’t remove a slice from the stack of slices which have been pressed so tightly together that you can barely separate them at all. Once you do manage to lift a corner of one slice from the stack it immediately breaks off. It’s almost impossible to remove a whole slice of this cheese without it breaking apart into multiple pieces; rearranging the pieces to make a full slice for a sandwich is like making a jigsaw puzzle, except that the end result is not worth the trouble. Members’Mark cheese doesn’t even come close to being as good as the wonderful MID-AMERICAl FARMS Sliced American Cheese that Sam’s used it sell. As a Plus Member I pay a lot of money for the privilege of shopping at Sam’s, but each of the past two years I’ve come closer and closer to not renewing my membership due to the fact that Sam’s keeps replacing more and more of my favorite name-brand items with their generic Members’ Mark garbage. Customers like myself who are willing to pay more for name-brand products do so for a reason — and that is that most name brand products are of better overall quality than the cheaper, generic brands, and the poor quality of this MM cheese is a perfect example of this difference.

Kinda like McDonald's cheese

This cheese is kinda between Kraft singles and deli deluxe, I think it taste great and melts really good. I keep both Kraft singles and deli deluxe in my fridge to use depending on the meal and how I want it to melt and taste. So far I haven't touched my other cheese and mainly use this one. I froze half to see how it holds up, I'll update in a couple months
