About this product

Velveeta Shells & Cheese Original is a 12 oz (340 g) box of shell pasta with a separate pouch of cheese sauce, sold in the United States as a stovetop macaroni and cheese that the box says is ready in 10 minutes.[2][3] Kraft Heinz Foods Company of Chicago is printed as the distributor, and the label lists enriched macaroni product followed by a cheese sauce of whey, canola oil and cheddar cheese.[3] The same ingredient statement appears in USDA's 2023 label record and on the maker's own product page, which offers the line in sizes from 12 to 48 oz.[4][1] The barcode already had a page on the original Barcodepedia in 2007, titled as a Kraft Velveeta Original Shells & Cheese 12 oz box.[5]

Listing observed

Kraft Heinz United States product page carries GTIN 00021000658930 in its URL; the Amazon.com listing prints UPC 021000658930 but showed "Currently unavailable" and no usable price on 2026-09-13 (^amazon)

A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price.

Coverage & research gaps (12)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 3 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 3 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • United States box, back panel photographed 2025 and 2026: nutrient evidence: 30 / 30 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • 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, so country_of_origin is left empty
  • relationships · unknown: The manufacturing plant is not named in any source found; only the Kraft Heinz Foods Company distributor block is printed
  • markets · not_researched: The Kraft Heinz page offers 24, 36 and 48 oz sizes; whether these are multipacks and which GTINs they carry was not researched
  • evidence · disputed: Open Food Facts' typed ingredient text drops the compound structure and its typed salt and sodium disagree (0.63 g vs 773 mg per 100 g); neither was used, the photos were transcribed instead
  • markets · disputed: Open Food Facts countries_tags lists France; no French listing or French label was found, so only US is recorded
  • evidence · disputed: The Amazon.com listing gives "Sun Maid" as manufacturer and 12.8 ounces as item weight, against Kraft Heinz Foods Company and NET WT 12 OZ (340g) on the pack; the listing attributes were not used
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
  • schema · schema_gap: Review and assign legacy facts to coherent observations.
  • ingredients · not_researched: Ingredient statement or sourced exemption not recorded.
