Kraft Cheez Whiz Processed Cheese Spread

Kraft Cheez Whiz is a widely recognized processed cheese spread originally introduced by the Kraft Foods Company in the early 1950s. Developed by food scientist Edwin Traisman and a team of researchers in the United States, it was launched as a convenient, ready-to-use sauce and spread for quick meal preparation.

In Canada, Cheez Whiz has long been a staple of household pantries, famously used on toast, celery, and snacks. Cheez Whiz sold in Canada is primarily produced domestically at Kraft Heinz processing facilities, including their plant in Mount Royal (Montreal), Quebec.

The brand is owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, an American multinational food enterprise formed through the merger of Kraft Foods Group and H.J. Heinz Company in 2015. The Canadian market operations are managed by its local subsidiary, Kraft Heinz Canada ULC.
