"it is often assumed that characteristically American spellings were invented by Noah Webster. He was very influential in popularizing certain spellings in the United States, but he did not originate them. Rather [...] he chose already existing options such as center, color and check for the simplicity, analogy or etymology" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences

Either way he didn't change the spellings he popularized them..

"Webster did attempt to introduce some reformed spellings, as did the Simplified Spelling Board in the early 20th century, but most were not adopted."

Edit, I messed up markdown

Technically Walter Gerber and Fritz Stettler invented the first processed cheese in Switzerland in 1911 by heating cheese up and mixing in sodium citrate. Kraft patented the process in the USA in 1916. The term "American Cheese" was later coined to refer to any processed cheese.

The American Cheese Wikipedia page is poorly written with mostly redundant information from other Wikipedia pages... it's just a commonly used word to refer to processed cheese and marketing term.
