Kraft Singles Original Cheddar

Kraft Singles are one of the most iconic processed cheese products in North America. The brand originated in the United States, developed by James L. Kraft, who patented the method for processed cheese in 1916. The specific 'Singles' format—individually wrapped slices—was pioneered by the company in the 1950s to provide convenience and consistent melting for sandwiches and burgers.

While the brand is historically American, the product shown features English and French text, indicating it is the Canadian market version. In Canada, Kraft Singles are primarily manufactured at the Kraft Heinz facility in Mont-Royal, Quebec. Ownership of the brand has evolved through several major corporate mergers, most notably the 2015 merger of Kraft Foods Group and H.J. Heinz Company. Today, the brand is owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, a global food and beverage giant headquartered in both Chicago and Pittsburgh in the United States.
