Recognizing the universal significance of grilled cheese as a culinary delight for all ages, whether it be children eating lunch on a weekend, an adult making their own and dipping it in a soup, or anybody looking for a late-night snack;

Acknowledging the diverse and often misguided interpretations of grilled cheese across cultures, and seeking to rectify these misguided interpretations;

Affirming the need for a universally accepted definition to promote grilled cheese purity;

Hereby:

Defines a grilled cheese as containing melted cheese between two slices of toasted bread, served hot, with optional spread on the bread;

• Defines bread as a baked good made primarily of flour, a leavening agent, water mixed together;

• Defines cheese as a food made primarily from pressed curds of milk; may also have cream, buttermilk, or any other flavor altering agent;

• Defines spread as any spreadable food, e.g. butter, mayo, oil, animal fat;

Encourages World Assembly member states to promote variations of grilled cheese to further culinary variations of grilled cheese and to improve the grilled cheese experience for citizens of World Assembly member states multiverse-wide;

Emphasizes the importance of using high-quality cheese and bread in the preparation of grilled cheese, and to toast the bread until golden-brown, not black or light brown, and to ensure the cheese is fully melted without turning to liquid;

The World Assembly requires that all member states shall prohibit any heated sandwich that does not contain only bread, cheese, and spread to be labelled a "grilled cheese sandwich", and that any sandwich not containing only the aforesaid ingredients must be labelled a "melt". The labelling requirements are applicable to all sandwiches sold or imported/exported by any WA state. The Food and Drug Regulatory Agency of the World Assembly is responsible for enforcement of this labelling requirement.
