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 Shells & Cheese Original Value Size is a 24 oz (680 g) box of shell pasta with a pouch of Velveeta cheese sauce, sold in the United States.[2][3] The front prints "Value Size" and a per-cup serving of 370 calories and 860 mg sodium, and the maker's page says one box makes about six servings, twice the three of the 12 oz box.[2][3] Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago is printed on the back beside the ingredient list, which declares wheat and milk.[4] Walmart sells the box under this barcode.[1]
The barcode was already catalogued as "velveeta shells cheese 24 oz" in 2007.[5] USDA's 2023 label record for this GTIN gives the same ingredient list as the box photographed in 2021, with a 112 g serving of about one sixth of the box.[6][4] Amazon.com lists the box under UPC 021000653201 with Kraft Heinz as manufacturer.[7]

- Target [9] United States new Target TCIN 15420263 lists "Velveeta Shells & Cheese Original Mac and Cheese Dinner Value Size - 24oz"; name, brand and net content match, no barcode or price in the page as read
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price. Store links may be affiliate links (how this works).
