About this product

Kraft Mexican Style Cheddar Pepper Jack is a shredded blend of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses with jalapeño peppers, kept free-flowing with potato starch, cellulose powder and calcium sulfate and protected with natamycin as a mould inhibitor.[1] USDA FoodData Central records it as a United States product of Kraft Heinz Foods Company,[1] a subsidiary of The Kraft Heinz Company,[2] and Open Food Facts lists the same name, brand and owner for the barcode.[3] Its label declares a serving of a quarter cup (28 g), and the jalapeños are packed in water, salt and acetic acid before blending.[1]

More about this product

The barcode was already catalogued in 2007, when the first Barcodepedia described an 8 oz (227 g) pack called Kraft Mexican Style Cheddar Jack with jalapeño.[4]

  • ingredients · not_researched: The USDA record carries no allergen or "Contains" statement and no pack photo exists, so no allergen declaration is recorded; the cheese makes milk an evident allergen but that is not a printed declaration

  • markets · stale: No current retailer listing printing this barcode could be read; the Kraft Heinz SmartLabel page for the GTIN exists but renders in JavaScript and its content was not read; whether the article is still sold is unknown
  • packaging · unknown: Pack format (bag) and the resealable closure are not confirmed by a readable source for this barcode
  • nutrition · not_researched: Only USDA's per-100 g conversion is available; the printed per-serving panel (1/4 cup, 28 g) should be transcribed from a pack photo
