About this product

Velveeta Slices Jalapeño is a 12 oz (340 g) pack of 16 individually wrapped slices labelled "pasteurized recipe cheese product with jalapeño peppers", sold in the United States under Kraft Heinz's Velveeta brand.[2] Each 21 g slice has 40 calories, and the maker describes the slices as a good source of calcium.[1] The ingredient list begins with whey, milk and milk protein concentrate and places jalapeño peppers sixth, ahead of sodium citrate and gelatin, with vinegar among the minor ingredients.[1] The same slice format is sold in Original flavor in 12 oz and 16 oz packs.[3] USDA's 2023 Branded Foods record of this barcode names Kraft Heinz Foods Company as brand owner.[4]

USDA's record repeats the maker's ingredient list word for word, but its per-100 g sodium of 1,571 mg works out to about 330 mg per slice, against 260 mg on the maker's current panel.[4] Velveeta itself was developed in 1918 by Emil Frey of the Monroe Cheese Company in New York and was bought by Kraft in 1927.[5]

Where it's sold

  • Kraft Heinz information[1] United States new · sourced Kraft Heinz's United States site lists this barcode (12 oz, 16 slices) with a Buy Online widget; USDA Branded Foods fdc_id 2614592, available 2023-08-31, records it for the US market (^usda)

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).

Coverage & research gaps (13)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 3 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 3 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Kraft Heinz US product page, read 2026: nutrient evidence: 15 / 15 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • USDA Branded Foods label record, 2023: nutrient evidence: 12 / 12 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • markets · unknown: Amazon.com: searches on 2026-09-25 for "velveeta slices jalapeno", "velveeta", "velveeta slices", "velveeta cheese singles" and the barcode 021000044900 returned no listing of this pack; the 12 oz Original slices listing (B000Q63HKI) offers no Jalapeño variant
  • markets · unknown: Walmart.com item 25875636 ("Velveeta Slices Jalapeno Cheese, 16 Ct Pk, Refrigerated") could not be read (bot check), so its price and barcode are not recorded
  • identity · unknown: No photo shows a "Product of" statement or the back panel, so country_of_origin and the manufacturing plant are left empty
  • nutrition · disputed: USDA per-100 g sodium (1571 mg) and calcium (762 mg) scale to about 330 mg and 160 mg per 21 g slice, against 260 mg and 150 mg on the maker's current panel; the USDA per-serving label was not seen, so a recipe change is unconfirmed
  • evidence · disputed: Open Food Facts' typed saturated fat (4.76 g per 100 g) is double USDA's 2.38 g and the maker's 0.5 g per 21 g slice, and its kJ figure does not match its kcal; the typed values were not used
  • packaging · not_researched: The only photo is a 2022 front panel of 290 × 200 pixels; no back-panel photo exists on Open Food Facts
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
