- 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 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]

- 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
