Cheesy wedges, cheese naan, or anything that comes with melted cheese is sure to attract cheese lovers! They don’t only smell good but they actually taste delicious!

Melted cheese is like a must-have item in the menu for the restaurant owners to increase the value of their products. But have you ever thought if it is actually really made from cheese? And most importantly, if they’re safe to be eaten?

In a Facebook post, Public Health Malaysia (PHM) has urged people to stop consuming melted cheese as the ingredients are unhealthy.

Naan, for instance, is a healthy food on its own. But the need to catch up with the trend has prompted people to add on melted cheese into anything they can think of. Now, here’s what melted cheese is really made of.

Melted cheese is actually a processed food that’s made of multiple flavourings, salt, sugar and maltodextrin.

Maltodextrin is is a white, starchy powder that manufacturers add into many foods to enhance their flavour, thickness, or shelf-life. It is typically found in packaged food such as pastries, candies and soft drinks.

According to Medical News Today, maltodextrin is safe to consume but excessive consumption can increase the risk of diabetes and high cholesterol.

This means your sugar level will definitely rise if you have melted cheese or anything with maltodextrin on your menu. People with diabetes are strictly prohibited from consuming the ingredient.

Public Health Malaysia also said that melted cheese is not just a favourite among adults but also children who will see an increase in their weight and in severe cases, obesity.

“Children who are obese are often tired and inactive. The development of their mind will also be affected.”

PHM ended the post by reminding the people, including parents and the restaurant owners to NOT excessively include melted cheese in their menu.

We won’t deny that food sometimes tastes better when they’re served with melted cheese, but after seeing this explanation by PHM, are you planning to reduce the consumption? Is this possibly a goodbye to cheese naan and cheesy wedges?
