What the sources say about these ties
- Lactalis licensed
- Kraft Heinz granted Groupe Lactalis perpetual licences to the Kraft and Velveeta brands for certain cheese products when it sold its natural cheese business; Kraft Heinz kept the Velveeta processed cheese business in the US and Canada
- The Kraft Heinz Company owns
- Kraft Heinz publishes the Velveeta brand and product pages; from date is the completion of the Kraft Foods Group-Heinz merger (per Wikipedia's Kraft Foods Group article)
Built from the ownership rows on the brand and company pages, each cited where it is recorded. Made in is the country of production on this product's record; the GS1 prefix of a barcode names the issuing organisation, not where the product was made.
About this product
Velveeta Shells & Cheese Queso Blanco is a 12 oz (340 g) box of shell pasta with a separate pouch of white cheese sauce, the queso blanco version of Kraft Heinz's Velveeta Shells & Cheese line sold in the United States.[2][1] Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago is printed as the distributor, and the label lists enriched macaroni product followed by a cheese sauce of whey, milk, canola oil and milk protein concentrate, coloured with paprika oleoresin and annatto.[3] A serving of 4 oz, about a third of the box, is labelled at 360 calories and 760 mg sodium.[3] The maker's own page gives the same ingredient statement and says one box makes about three servings.[1]
The same ingredient list appears on a box photographed in 2021 and in USDA's label record of March 2021, whose serving is also 112 g.[4][5] That 2021 box printed 0 g trans fat per box, where boxes photographed in 2024 and 2025 print 1 g.[4][6][3]
Where it's sold
- Kraft Heinz information[1] United States Kraft Heinz United States product page carries GTIN 00021000039845 in its URL and offers the 12 oz size; the Amazon.com listing prints UPC 021000039845 and showed "Currently unavailable" with no price on 2026-09-25 (^amazon)
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price. Store links may be affiliate links (how this works).
