The first blind taster to try these suggested "ready salted", such was the amount of "flavouring" on them. There seems to be quite a bit of variation in how strongly/mildly some varieties are flavoured - are Walker's letting QA standards slip?
That aside, if you tried really hard, you could actually discern a mild cheese flavour, and as Edam is a fairly bland, inoffensive, mild cheese I suppose this was a pretty good effort. I'm not sure that it doesn't just taste like Cheese & Onion would if you missed out the onion, maybe the cheese in that flavour has a bit more tang to it.
Anyway, I liked it, most of the panel could tell it was meant to be cheese, and most thought they were "alright" (they've not been very enthusiastic about any of the flavours so "alright" counts as a thumbs up!)
Dutch Edam: "Tastes like bland, mild cheese, so a pretty good effort" 7/10

I shall have to agree with your theory that Walkers are letting their QA standards slip; our Dutch Edam were nicely cheesy.
But, of course, we didn't identify it as Edam, but definitely cheesy.
