Interesting question: Cheese allergy is typically an allergic reaction to milk or less likely the mold that was used to make real cheese like roquefort (blue cheese). I suspect processed cheese has minimal mold exposure. The heating of foods including milk products can break down (denature) the proteins and potentially make it less allergenic. An allergist could assist in testing to help sort this out.
