Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese 24 oz: version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 11:23 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese 24 oz (UPC 021000627134) from the wanted list (old title "KFT CB X SHRP CHED CHNKY BJS"), plus a new brand/cracker-barrel stub. - Identity, 24 oz / 680 g net content, ingredient statement and per-100 g nutrition come from USDA FoodData Central Branded Foods fdc_id 2676031 (Label Insight, 2023). The old 2007 Barcodepedia page agrees on the 24 oz size. - Relations: USDA names Kraft Heinz Foods Company as brand owner (sourced). Food Dive (2020, 2024) and Wikipedia report the US Cracker Barrel cheese business went to Lactalis in 2021, so a derived Lactalis brand_owner_at_sale row from 2021 was added and the conflict is recorded under research_gaps. gs1_prefix_owner points to the existing Kraft Heinz Foods Company stub that states prefix 0021000. - Markets: US, sourced from the USDA record, plus a derived row from Costco's Instacart listing of the 24 oz block (no barcode on that page). - An Allergen Inside transcription of an older label (120 kcal per 1 inch cube, distributor Oscar Mayer Foods Corp.) is kept as an unconfirmed observation, with its values as text because it gives no serving weight. - Unresolved: no pack photo, no allergen statement read, no retailer page printing this UPC, current owner on pack unconfirmed. crackerbarrelcheese.com and the Kraft Heinz press site refused the server fetch.. Current is v2.

| 113 | 113 | Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese is a 24 oz (680 g) block of natural cheddar sold in the United States. USDA's Branded Foods label data lists its ingredients as pasteurised milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, annatto and natamycin, with Kraft Heinz Foods Company as brand owner.[^usda] Kraft Heinz agreed in 2020 to sell its US natural cheese business, Cracker Barrel included, to Lactalis,[^fooddive2020] and the brand now belongs to Lactalis Heritage Group, which trades as Kraft Natural Cheese.[^enwiki-knc] Costco's Instacart storefront lists a 24 oz Extra Sharp Yellow Cheddar block, though without a barcode.[^instacart] | |
| 114 | 114 | ||
| 115 | 115 | The barcode was on Barcodepedia in 2007 as a 24 oz Cracker Barrel extra sharp cheddar chunk imported from upcdatabase.com.[^bp2007] An undated transcription on Allergen Inside, in the older US nutrition-label format, names Oscar Mayer Foods Corp. as distributor.[^allergeninside] | |

| -------------- | ------------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| | relationships | disputed | USDA's 2023 record names Kraft Heinz Foods Company as brand owner, but the US Cracker Barrel cheese business was sold to a Lactalis affiliate in 2021; no current pack or listing of this UPC was found naming the owner or distributor | ^fooddive2024 |
| | ingredients | not_researched | No allergen statement was read from a label; the USDA record carries none and the Allergen Inside list is behind a login | |
| | images | unknown | No licensed photograph found; Open Food Facts has no record for this barcode | |
| | markets | unknown | No retailer listing printing this UPC was found; crackerbarrelcheese.com and the Kraft Heinz press site refused the server fetch | |
| allergeninside | nutrition | stale | Kept as text in the observation note, not as a panel, because the page gives the serving only as a 1 inch cube with no weight; its per-serving values (120 kcal) differ from the USDA 2023 record (393 kcal per 100 g, about 110 kcal per 28 g) and appear to come from an older label | ^allergeninside |
| | relationships | unknown | The manufacturing plant is not named by any source found | |

## About <!--about-->
Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese is a 24 oz (680 g) block of natural cheddar sold in the United States. USDA's Branded Foods label data lists its ingredients as pasteurised milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, annatto and natamycin, with Kraft Heinz Foods Company as brand owner.[^usda] Kraft Heinz agreed in 2020 to sell its US natural cheese business, Cracker Barrel included, to Lactalis,[^fooddive2020] and the brand now belongs to Lactalis Heritage Group, which trades as Kraft Natural Cheese.[^enwiki-knc] Costco's Instacart storefront lists a 24 oz Extra Sharp Yellow Cheddar block, though without a barcode.[^instacart]
The barcode was on Barcodepedia in 2007 as a 24 oz Cracker Barrel extra sharp cheddar chunk imported from upcdatabase.com.[^bp2007] An undated transcription on Allergen Inside, in the older US nutrition-label format, names Oscar Mayer Foods Corp. as distributor.[^allergeninside]
