Kraft Singles American 16 Slices 12 oz: version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 11:13 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Kraft Singles American 16 Slices 12 oz (UPC 021000604647) from the wanted list. Identity confirmed by the barcode printed on the back label photo (Open Food Facts upload 15), the Kraft Heinz product page for GTIN 00021000604647 and an Amazon.com listing printing the UPC; the lookup conflict was only a naming difference (OFF "Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product" vs USDA "Singles American Cheese Slices"), both the same Kraft Singles article. Current label (2025-12 photos, matching the 2026-06 photos and the maker page) transcribed as ingredient rows, a per-slice nutrition panel, allergen and claims; the 2019 label (milk first, sodium citrate, natamycin, vitamin D3, 60 kcal) is kept as a separate observation with its own rows and panel; the 2023 USDA label record is a third wording kept as an observation with its USDA-normalised per-100 g panel. Relations: brand_owner_at_sale Kraft Heinz Foods Company (USDA, name printed on pack); gs1_prefix_owner per the existing company stub. Market US from the printed company block and the Amazon listing. Created family/kraft-singles (sourced from the maker page and Wikipedia) and ingredient stubs cultured-milk, milk-protein-concentrate, whey-protein-concentrate, lactic-acid, sorbic-acid. Unresolved: recipe change dates, manufacturing plant, retail price (Dollar General and Foodland listings returned 403 to the server fetch).. Current is v3.

| 211 | 219 | Kraft Singles American is a 12 oz (340 g) pack of 16 slices of pasteurized prepared cheese product sold in the United States under the Kraft brand, with Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago named on the back label.[^label-2025] Kraft Heinz lists it among its KRAFT SINGLES products at 50 calories per 21 g slice.[^kh] Kraft Singles were introduced in 1950, and the product carries the "pasteurized prepared cheese product" name after a 2002 FDA warning over a recipe that used milk protein concentrate.[^enwiki-singles] | |
| 212 | 220 | ||
| 213 | 221 | Label photographs show the recipe changing: a 2019 pack declared milk first, with sodium citrate, natamycin and vitamin D3 at 60 calories a slice,[^label-2019] while packs photographed from 2025 lead with cheddar cheese and use sodium phosphate, sorbic acid and vitamin A palmitate.[^label-2025] | |

## About <!--about-->
Kraft Singles American is a 12 oz (340 g) pack of 16 slices of pasteurized prepared cheese product sold in the United States under the Kraft brand, with Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago named on the back label.[^label-2025] Kraft Heinz lists it among its KRAFT SINGLES products at 50 calories per 21 g slice.[^kh] Kraft Singles were introduced in 1950, and the product carries the "pasteurized prepared cheese product" name after a 2002 FDA warning over a recipe that used milk protein concentrate.[^enwiki-singles]
Label photographs show the recipe changing: a 2019 pack declared milk first, with sodium citrate, natamycin and vitamin D3 at 60 calories a slice,[^label-2019] while packs photographed from 2025 lead with cheddar cheese and use sodium phosphate, sorbic acid and vitamin A palmitate.[^label-2025]
