According to Wiki they are made from cheese powder and other unfermented dairy ingredients mixed with emulsifiers. Additional ingredients, such as vegetable oils, salt, food coloring, or sugar may be included. The stuff is heated, poured into a mould and sets.The use of emulsifiers in processed cheese results in a product that melts without separating when cooked; with prolonged heating, some natural cheeses (especially cheddar and mozzarella) separate into a lumpy, molten protein gel and liquid fat combination.

I wish I'd never asked.

We used real cheese not powder. Slices are normally c 51% solids but that isn't all cheese.
