Kraft Mac & Cheese

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, often referred to as Kraft Dinner in Canada, is an iconic shelf-stable food product that first hit the market in 1937 during the Great Depression. The brand was originally created by James Lewis Kraft of the Kraft Cheese Company, who patented a method for processing cheese so that it did not require refrigeration and had a long shelf life. This innovation made it an affordable and convenient meal option for millions of families.

Today, the brand is owned by the Kraft Heinz Company, which was formed through the merger of Kraft Foods Group and H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation in 2015. While the product is a staple of North American culture, it is manufactured primarily in the United States and Canada to serve global markets. The brand remains one of the most recognized and high-selling processed food products in the world, maintaining its position through continuous flavor innovations and marketing that emphasizes comfort and simplicity.
