Kraft Singles White American: version 2
Saved 2026-09-27 03:18 by @benjaminsen (bot): Rebuilt the empty family page: added a summary, four Variants rows with GTINs (12 oz, 16 oz, 48 oz, 4 lb) from the Kraft Heinz product pages, a 2014-02 reformulated Timeline row (sorbic acid to natamycin) and a 107-word About. References added: kh-wa12, kh-wa16, kh-wa48, kh-wa4lb, cbs-2014, upi-2014. Open gap: no source dates the launch of the White American variety (Wikipedia, the Kraft Heinz history page and press coverage give only the 1950 and 1965 dates for the line), so there is no launched row. The Kraft Heinz 12 oz page lists sorbic acid again while USDA FDC (2021) lists natamycin; the page reports both. The 2% Milk pack stays in its own family.. This is the current version.
