Kraft Real Mayo

Kraft Mayonnaise is a cornerstone product of the Kraft brand, which traces its history back to James L. Kraft's wholesale cheese business founded in Chicago in 1903. Over more than a century, the brand evolved through various corporate structures, eventually becoming part of the North American grocery business when Kraft Foods Inc. split in 2012. In 2015, a landmark merger between Kraft Foods Group and the H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation formed the Kraft Heinz Company, one of the largest food and beverage manufacturers in the world.

Today, Kraft Mayonnaise is produced in multiple facilities across North America and internationally to meet global demand. While the brand is quintessentially American in origin, its manufacturing footprint spans various regions where Kraft Heinz operates production plants. As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Kraft Heinz Company, which is co-headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh. The company is publicly traded, with significant institutional backing from firms such as Berkshire Hathaway.
