Yes, America may be running low on what is perhaps its signature pasteurized process cheese spread. 

Kraft, the maker of Velveeta, says over the next few weeks, there will be some shortages. The company didn't give an exact reason for the issues.

Kraft told AdAge they expect this to be a "short-term issue," saying there's a "combination of factors involved" in the shortage, which was first noticed at East Coast grocery stores. 

But, this could all just be a lot of cheesiness for no real reason...iness. Kraft says it hasn't heard many complaints from customers. We'll have to see — but just in case, maybe don't double dip.
