Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese Spread 16 oz: version 1

Saved 2026-09-13 11:17 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese Spread 16 oz (UPC 021000612154) from the wanted list. The old 2007 page called it "Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spread, Regular, 16.00 oz". **Identity:** Open Food Facts, USDA Branded Foods (fdc 2614613), the 2007 Barcodepedia page, the Kraft Heinz product page (GTIN in the URL) and a Lunds & Byerlys listing (Product Number 00021000612154) all name the same product. A 2022 back-label photo on Open Food Facts shows the UPC itself. The lookup's `conflict` compared only two food descriptions of the same product ("Cream Cheese Spread" and "ORIGINAL CREAM CHEESE SPREAD"), so it was a false alarm. The net weight, 16 OZ (1 LB) 453g, is read from the front photo. **Label revisions (observations):** - current: the maker page's list is PASTEURIZED MILK AND CREAM, SALT, GUAR GUM, NATAMYCIN, CHEESE CULTURE. Back-label photos from 2025 agree where legible. - label-2022: read from the photo. It adds whey protein concentrate, whey, carob bean gum and vitamin A palmitate; USDA's 2023 record has the same list. - off-typed (unconfirmed): the Open Food Facts contributor list with xanthan gum and sorbic acid. No photo backs it, so it has no ingredient rows. Both per-serving panels (2 Tbsp, 31 g) are transcribed. The old panel prints calcium 40 mg and vitamin A 100 mcg; the current maker panel gives calcium 30 mg and no vitamin A. **Relations and markets:** brand_owner_at_sale is Kraft Heinz Foods Company, verified: the photo prints its Chicago address and USDA agrees. gs1_prefix_owner cites the existing company stub. The US market row cites Lunds & Byerlys (USD 9.59, 2026-09-13). **Stubs:** brand/philadelphia (owned_by Kraft Heinz for the US from the maker site; Mondelez per Wikipedia with no territory split) and family/philadelphia-original-cream-cheese-spread (8, 12 and 16 oz sizes per the maker page). ingredient/whey-protein-concentrate already existed and is reused. **Unresolved:** Lunds & Byerlys' ingredient copy omits natamycin (recorded as disputed). Kroger and ShopRite listings timed out. No manufacturing plant is named.. Current is v3.

## About <!--about-->
Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese Spread 16 oz is a one-pound (453 g) plastic tub of spreadable cream cheese sold in the United States.[^front2020] Kraft Heinz offers Original Cream Cheese Spread in 8, 12 and 16 oz sizes and describes it as made with fresh milk and real cream, with no artificial preservatives, flavors or dyes.[^kh] The back label names Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago, Illinois.[^label2025] The recipe is shorter than it used to be: a 2022 label also listed whey protein concentrate, whey, carob bean gum and vitamin A palmitate,[^label2022] while the current list is milk and cream, salt, guar gum, natamycin and cheese culture.[^kh]

Philadelphia cream cheese was first made in New York State in 1872, and the brand is now owned by Kraft Heinz and Mondelez International.[^wiki] The 2007 Barcodepedia page for this barcode called it "Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spread, Regular, 16.00 oz".[^archive]
