Philadelphia Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese Product

Philadelphia Cream Cheese, often referred to as 'Philly,' is one of the most recognized dairy brands globally. The brand's history dates back to 1872 in New York, when American dairyman William Lawrence developed a method for making cream cheese. The name 'Philadelphia' was chosen as a marketing strategy because the city was known at the time for its high-quality dairy production.

The specific product shown is manufactured in Canada, as evidenced by the 'Prepared in Canada' maple leaf logo on the lid and the bilingual English/French labeling common to the Canadian market. In Canada, the brand is owned and operated by Kraft Heinz Canada. Globally, the ownership of the Philadelphia brand is split due to the 2012 corporate spin-off of Kraft Foods; while the Kraft Heinz Company retains ownership in North America (US and Canada), Mondelēz International owns and markets the brand in most other territories worldwide.
