| | identity | unknown | Only the front panel of this pack has been photographed; the back panel with its Nutrition Facts, ingredient list, distributor block and any "Product of" statement is unread, so country_of_origin is empty | |
| us-front-2025 | evidence | disputed | The front-of-pack icons photographed 2025-06-16 show 860 mg sodium per serving; the maker page read 2026-09-27 gives 880 mg, as do USDA's per-100 g figures scaled to the 112 g serving; the photographed pack may carry an older or newer label | ^front2025 |
| usda-2021 | evidence | disputed | The USDA record's cheese sauce order (whey, cheddar cheese, milk, whey protein concentrate, canola oil) differs from the maker page read 2026-09-27 (skim milk, cheddar cheese, canola oil, whey); which list is on the shelf now, and since when, is open | ^usda |
| | markets | unknown | Amazon.com: web searches for the barcode 021000051533, "Velveeta Shells and Cheese 2 Boxes Original 12 oz" and the brand with shells and cheese on 2026-09-27 returned the single 12 oz box (B000QJ8SY0), 3-box, 6-, 12- and 24-pack listings of the Original but no two-box listing; Amazon's own search answered with a bot check | |

## About <!--about-->
Velveeta Shells & Cheese Original 24 oz is a pack of two 12 oz (340 g) boxes of Velveeta's stovetop shell pasta with a pouch of cheese sauce, 680 g in all.[^kh][^front2025] Kraft Heinz sells it in the United States, where the Shells & Cheese line has been on sale since 1984; USDA's branded-foods record names Kraft Heinz Foods Company as brand owner.[^kh][^wiki-vsc][^usda] Each box makes about three 4 oz servings, and the maker lists the sauce as skim milk, cheddar cheese, canola oil and whey, coloured with paprika oleoresin and annatto, with wheat and milk declared.[^kh] The front of the pack carries a "Made with real cheese" badge.[^front2025] Dollar General lists the two-box pack under this barcode.[^dg]
USDA's 2021 label record gives an earlier cheese sauce order that opens with whey, and per-serving front icons on a pack photographed in 2025 show 860 mg of sodium against 880 mg on the maker's page.[^usda][^front2025][^kh]
