Velveeta Slices Original 12 oz (340 g): version 1

Saved 2026-09-25 20:46 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added product 00021000611447 — Velveeta Slices Original, 12 oz (340 g), a US pasteurized recipe cheese product of 16 individually wrapped 21 g slices by Kraft Heinz. This completes a barcode named by the existing family/velveeta-slices (its Variants table already lists it). No stubs created: brand/velveeta, family/velveeta-slices, category/10000028 and company/kraft-heinz-foods-company all already exist. Nutrition (per 1 slice, 21 g) transcribed from the Open Food Facts panel photo of 2024-07-30 (40 kcal, fat 2 g, sat 0.5 g, cholesterol 5 mg, sodium 280 mg, carb 3 g, sugars 2 g, protein 3 g, calcium 160 mg, vitamin A 40 mcg); the label prints only a per-serving column, so no per-100 g panel was written (USDA files those per-serving figures as per-100 g and OFF derives a per-100 g set). Ingredient statement preserved on the us-label observation, matched by the 2024-07-30 photo and the USDA 2026 record; a research gap notes OFF's typed list disagrees (maltodextrin, whey protein concentrate). Allergen contains-milk and the front good-source-of-calcium claim recorded. GS1 prefix 0021000 → gs1_prefix_owner company/kraft-heinz-foods-company (sourced, Inmar 2025-05-30 evidence already on that stub). US market settled: maker US product page (sourced), USDA Branded Foods fdc_id 2756855 (derived), and the Amazon.com storefront listing ASIN B000Q63HKI (derived; page shell returned no price, so price left empty). off_images: true attaches the OFF front, nutrition and ingredient photos of this exact pack.

## About <!--about-->
Velveeta Slices Original is a pasteurized recipe cheese product sold in the United States by The Kraft Heinz Company under its Velveeta brand.[^front][^kh-slices] The pack holds sixteen individually wrapped yellow slices at a net weight of 12 oz (340 g), and each 21 g slice provides 40 calories.[^front][^panel] The front of the pack is marked a good source of calcium, and the ingredient statement begins with whey, milk and milk protein concentrate rather than meeting any standard of identity for cheese.[^front][^panel] Kraft Heinz markets the slices for grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers and dips, and its United States site lists this 12 oz pack as carrying 16 servings.[^kh-slices]

The United States label names Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago, Illinois as the responsible company,[^backpanel] and the barcode's GS1 company prefix, 0021000, is recorded to that company on GS1 coupon-account evidence.[^inmar2025] Kraft Heinz's US Velveeta site lists the Original slice in this 12 oz pack of sixteen and in a larger 16 oz pack of twenty-four.[^kh-slices] A USDA Branded Foods record and an Amazon.com listing both catalogue the 16-count, 12 oz pack in the United States.[^usda][^amazon]
