Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter

Kraft Peanut Butter is an iconic brand in Canada, easily recognizable by its signature teddy bear mascots, Crunchy and Smoothie. Originally founded by James L. Kraft, who was born in Ontario, Canada, the brand has deep roots in North American food history. This specific product, featuring bilingual English and French labeling, is specifically tailored for the Canadian market.

While Kraft Foods Group underwent massive corporate restructurings, including the high-profile merger with Heinz to become The Kraft Heinz Company, the peanut butter line has remained a staple of their portfolio. In Canada, this product is primarily manufactured at the Kraft Heinz facility in Mont-Royal, Quebec, which produces the vast majority of the country's peanut butter supply using dry-roasted peanuts.

Today, the brand is owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, a global food and beverage giant co-headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh. Despite the global ownership, Kraft Peanut Butter remains a uniquely Canadian phenomenon, as the brand is not sold under the 'Kraft' name in the United States, where other brands like Jif or Skippy dominate.
