About this product
Velveeta Slices Original is a 16 oz (453 g) pack of 24 individually wrapped slices of Velveeta, labelled "pasteurized recipe cheese product" in Original flavor.[2] Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago is printed on the back,[3] and the maker sells the slices in 12 oz and 16 oz packs.[4] The back panel photographed in 2026 lists skim milk first, while USDA's 2023 record for the same barcode starts with whey, so the recipe or label order has changed since then.[5] The 2007 Barcodepedia page, typed from Amazon data, called it Kraft Velveeta Cheese Singles.[6]
More about this product
Velveeta was developed in 1918 by Emil Frey of the Monroe Cheese Company in New York and was bought by Kraft in 1927. After a 2002 FDA warning letter over the term "process cheese spread", it has been sold in the United States under a name that no FDA standard defines.[7]

- nutrition · unknown: USDA per-100 g sodium (1316 mg) scales to about 250 mg per 19 g slice against 240 mg on the 2026 panel; the USDA per-serving label was not seen, so a change is unconfirmed
