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 Mini Shells & Cheese is a 10.1 oz (287 g) box of small shell pasta packed with a pouch of Velveeta cheese sauce, the mini-shell version of Velveeta Shells & Cheese Original.[1][2] Kraft Heinz sells it in the United States; the pasta is boiled on the stovetop, drained and mixed with the sauce, and one box makes about 2.5 one-cup servings.[1][3] The current label declares 360 calories and 950 mg sodium per 4 oz (113 g) serving, 900 calories for the whole box, and the ingredient list opens with enriched macaroni product followed by a cheese sauce of whey, canola oil and cheddar cheese.[4][1]
The box photographed on a store shelf in February 2025 carried a round "made with real cheese" badge and a front nutrition strip printing 940 mg sodium per serving.[5] The maker's 2026 front replaces the badge with a red panel adding "no artificial dyes" and "12g protein per serving", and its Nutrition Facts panel prints 950 mg sodium and 12 g protein.[2][4]

- Label photographs: 0 / 4 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph

- USDA Branded Foods label record, 2023: nutrient evidence: 14 / 14 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- identity · unknown: No photo shows a "Product of" statement; the Amazon.com listing's Region of Origin USA attribute is a retailer field and was not used for country_of_origin
- relationships · unknown: No back-panel photograph is available, so the distributor block and any plant are not recorded
- nutrition · disputed: The maker's page shows two sets of per-serving figures: its 2026 panel image prints 950mg sodium, 15mg cholesterol, 12g protein and 170mg calcium, while its structured data gives 940mg, 20mg, 13g and 160mg, as the 2025 front and USDA's 2023 record do; the panel image is kept as current
- markets · not_researched: Fruugo lists the article on its United Kingdom and Norway storefronts as a cross-border marketplace offer; no national retailer or Amazon storefront in those countries was checked, so only US is recorded
- evidence · disputed: The Amazon.com listing gives Sun Maid as manufacturer and item weight 21.55 g against Kraft Heinz Foods Company and NET WT 10.1 OZ (287g) on the pack; the listing's attributes were not used
