Sometimes the price of real cheese fluctuates and it becomes too expensive for dollar stores to carry it so they replace it with something called "pasteurized process topping".
Nowhere on the package does it say "cheese", it's only relation to cheese is the inclusion of casein protein and sometimes it doesn't even have that.
The package clearly states that it doesn't melt and why would you buy shredded cheese if you don't intend to melt it?
Who the fuck buys this shit?

It's like they make this product for the sole purpose of tricking people who don't pay attention, and it's not actually edible food because they know nobody is going to eat it after they throw it in the microwave and notice it doesn't melt at all, rather it curls up like plastic.

I want to believe it just combusts if you put it in a burrito or something.

Process cheese food is still made from dairy.

That's IMITATION process cheese food, there's basically no milk in it and it has some casein protein mixed in so they can still use the word "cheese" on the package.
One time I accidentally bought a bag of "no-melt" imitation shredded cheese and didn't find out until I had tried to melt it and it was just curling up like plastic.
It's literally plastic.
How is this shit even legal?
