| 169 | 169 | Velveeta Slices Sharp Cheddar is a 12 oz (340 g) pack of 16 individually wrapped slices of Velveeta, labelled "pasteurized recipe cheese product" and "good source of calcium", at 40 calories per 21 g slice.[^front2025][^label2025] Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago is printed on the back,[^label2025] and Kraft Heinz still lists the pack, in the 12 oz size only, on its Velveeta range.[^kh-sharp] Whey heads the ingredient list, ahead of milk and milk protein concentrate, with annatto and oleoresin paprika for colour.[^label2025] Amazon.com lists it under this UPC.[^amazon] | |
| 170 | 170 | ||
| 171 | 171 | The 2019 pack carried the older oval Velveeta logo with "Slices" in script; by 2025 the front had the current drip design, with the same 16 slices and 40-calorie badge.[^front2019][^front2025] In July 2025 Dollar General recalled stock of this UPC distributed to Louisiana stores after a temperature excursion in one shipping trailer; the FDA classified the recall Class II on 6 August 2025.[^fda-recall][^newsweek] | |

## About <!--about-->
Velveeta Slices Sharp Cheddar is a 12 oz (340 g) pack of 16 individually wrapped slices of Velveeta, labelled "pasteurized recipe cheese product" and "good source of calcium", at 40 calories per 21 g slice.[^front2025][^label2025] Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago is printed on the back,[^label2025] and Kraft Heinz still lists the pack, in the 12 oz size only, on its Velveeta range.[^kh-sharp] Whey heads the ingredient list, ahead of milk and milk protein concentrate, with annatto and oleoresin paprika for colour.[^label2025] Amazon.com lists it under this UPC.[^amazon]
The 2019 pack carried the older oval Velveeta logo with "Slices" in script; by 2025 the front had the current drip design, with the same 16 slices and 40-calorie badge.[^front2019][^front2025] In July 2025 Dollar General recalled stock of this UPC distributed to Louisiana stores after a temperature excursion in one shipping trailer; the FDA classified the recall Class II on 6 August 2025.[^fda-recall][^newsweek]
