Kraft Dinner (KD) Original Macaroni and Cheese

Kraft Dinner, commonly referred to as KD in Canada, is an iconic pantry staple consisting of dry macaroni pasta and a powdered cheese sauce mix. Originally launched in 1937 during the Great Depression, it gained immense popularity due to its affordability and long shelf life.

In Canada, KD is more than just a quick meal; it is often considered a national dish. The product shown features the updated branding that emphasizes the 'KD' initials, which is the name most Canadians use for the product. While the Kraft brand originated in the United States, the specific formulation and branding for Kraft Dinner have a deep-rooted history in the Canadian market.

Today, the brand is owned by the Kraft Heinz Company, which was formed through the 2015 merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation. The product sold in Canada is primarily prepared and manufactured within the country, specifically at facilities such as the Kraft Heinz plant in Mount Royal, Quebec.
