## 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]
