Kraft Dinner (KD) Original

Kraft Dinner, famously known as 'KD' in Canada, is a staple pantry item consisting of macaroni pasta and a powdered cheese sauce mix. The product was originally introduced in 1937 by the Kraft Cheese Company in both Canada and the United States. While it is marketed as 'Kraft Macaroni & Cheese' in much of the world, it holds a unique cultural status in Canada under the KD brand name.

The product shown in the image is specifically labeled 'Prepared in Canada,' typically manufactured at the Kraft Heinz processing facility in Mont-Royal, Quebec. This facility services the vast majority of the Canadian market, reinforcing the brand's long-standing connection to Canadian consumers.

The brand is owned by the Kraft Heinz Company, which was formed through the 2015 merger of Kraft Foods Group and H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation. Headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh, the company is one of the largest food and beverage manufacturers globally. In Canada, it operates through its local subsidiary, Kraft Heinz Canada ULC.
