To my understanding, Velveeta is almost all cheese, unless you get the slices. They do make processed cheese with cheese, other milk products, oil, flavorings, and emulsifiers (thank you wikipedia). I think what I read meant they can't call it even "Cheese Food" unless it has 51% cheese.
It has an extended shelf life, as long as it is airtight, but so do many cheeses.
My favorite method of making cheese sauce is basically making processed cheese. I heat up hard cheese, butter, cream, spices, and a little lethicin on a double boiler.
