It's an emulsifier. It keeps the fat and water from separating when the cheese melts. Basically it allows any cheese to melt like Velveeta.

Love it! That's always my issue when I make my own mac and cheese

Hint hint - buy a pack of American cheese (or American cheese product in a pinch) and next time just add a slice or a few to the sauce. The emulsifier in the cheese should be enough for the sauce.
