## About <!--about-->
Kraft Deli Deluxe American is a 12 oz (340 g) pack of 16 slices of pasteurized process American cheese with added calcium, sold under the Kraft brand in the United States.[^kh] Kraft Heinz lists it as one of four sizes of its Deli Deluxe American slices, with a 19 g slice as the serving at 70 calories and 280 mg of calcium.[^kh] The pack names Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago as distributor,[^off-ingredients] and USDA FoodData Central gives the same company as brand owner.[^usda] Amazon.com lists it under this UPC as a 16-slice pack.[^amazon-us]
The barcode was already catalogued in 2007, when Barcodepedia titled it "kraft deluxe american yellow cheese slices 12 oz".[^bp2007] The label photographed in 2020 gave a 21 g slice at 80 calories and 340 mg of sodium, listed milk and cheese culture in the cheese, and put water before milkfat; the USDA record of 2023 carries the same figures and list.[^off-ingredients][^usda] The maker's current list opens with American cheese made from cultured milk, puts milkfat before water and names annatto extract.[^kh]
