KD Shaker Original Cheese Seasoning

KD (Kraft Dinner) is an iconic cultural staple originally launched in Canada and the United States in 1937. It was invented as a response to the Great Depression, offering a meal that was both affordable and had a long shelf life. Over decades, the product became specifically branded as 'KD' in Canada, where it gained a unique status as a de facto national dish.

The KD Shaker is a standalone cheese seasoning product that allows consumers to apply the signature Macaroni & Cheese flavour to other foods like popcorn or fries. While the brand originated with the Kraft Cheese Company, it has undergone several corporate reorganizations. Today, it is part of the Kraft Heinz portfolio.

Manufacturing for the KD line primarily takes place in North America, with the Canadian market products famously produced at the Kraft Heinz processing facility in Mont-Royal, Quebec. The brand continues to be a dominant player in the quick-meal category under the global management of the Kraft Heinz Company.
