Kraft Parmesan Grated Cheese

Kraft Parmesan Grated Cheese is a staple household food item globally recognized for its convenient shaker container. This specific product, identified by its bilingual English and French labeling, is tailored for the Canadian market and is primarily manufactured within Canada using domestic and imported ingredients.

The Kraft brand has a rich history dating back to 1903 when James L. Kraft started a door-to-door cheese business in Chicago. Over the decades, it evolved through numerous mergers. Today, Kraft Parmesan in Canada is part of a complex ownership structure. While Kraft Heinz remains the global brand owner, the Canadian natural cheese business (including this Parmesan) was sold to the French dairy giant Lactalis in 2021.

Globally, the Kraft brand is managed by The Kraft Heinz Company, which is headquartered in the United States. However, for Canadian consumers, the product is packaged and distributed by Parmalat Canada (doing business as Lactalis Canada) under a long-term license agreement for the Kraft trademark in the natural cheese category.
