Philadelphia Chive & Onion Cream Cheese

Philadelphia is one of the world's most iconic cream cheese brands, originally created in New York in 1872 and subsequently named Philadelphia by a marketing distributor who believed the city was synonymous with high-quality dairy food at the time.

In Canada, Philadelphia products are a staple of the Kraft Heinz portfolio. The brand is managed and distributed by Kraft Heinz Canada, with significant local manufacturing occurring in facilities such as the Mt. Royal plant in Montreal. This ensure that Canadian consumers receive fresh products tailored to local tastes and regulatory standards.

Globally, the ownership of the Philadelphia brand is split due to historic corporate divestitures. While Mondelēz International owns and distributes Philadelphia in most international markets (including Europe), Kraft Heinz maintains ownership in North America, including the United States and Canada. This separation reflects the complex history of the original Kraft Foods and its eventual split into two distinct global companies.
