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]
