Kraft Mac & Cheese Faces Legal Battle Over Additive Claims

Consumers are eager to join the lawsuit for potential compensation, but payouts depend on the case's settlement. The controversy highlights differing opinions on the safety and marketing of food additives.

Kraft Introduces Dairy-Free Mac and Cheese in the US

Kraft Heinz is introducing dairy-free mac and cheese to the U.S. market, replacing dairy with ingredients like fava bean protein and coconut oil powder. Developed in collaboration with Chicago startup Not Co., the plant-based Kraft NotMac&Cheese will be available in white cheddar and original flavors. While it offers familiar flavors, it is not necessarily healthier than the original, but it is lower in cholesterol and higher in protein and fiber.

Kraft Unveils Dairy-Free, Plant-Based Mac and Cheese Option

Kraft Heinz is launching a new vegan mac and cheese product called "Kraft NotMac&Cheese," which uses a plant-based sauce made from fava bean protein and coconut oil powder.

The introduction of this product aligns with the growing trend of consumers embracing plant-based alternatives, with sales of plant-foods rising to $8 billion in 2022. Other food companies, such as Babybel and Philadelphia, have also introduced vegan versions of their popular dairy products.

Kraft's Cheeseless Mac & Cheese: A Bold Departure

Kraft is launching a new plant-based version of its iconic Mac & Cheese called "Kraft NotMac&Cheese," partnering with plant-based food company NotCo. The move comes in response to the growing demand for "better-for-you" products, with plant-based product sales surging 19% last year. However, there is a risk as customers who have tried dairy-free alternatives often don't like the taste. Kraft aims to address this by creating a vegan cheese sauce made with fava bean protein and coconut oil powder that closely resembles the taste and texture of dairy-based mac and cheese. The company hopes to leverage its brand recognition and creamy texture to appeal to consumers' plant-based preferences.

"Kraft and Victorious Companies Pursue Damages Following US Egg-Price Verdict"

Kraft, General Mills, and other major food companies have won a verdict in a federal jury trial in Chicago, holding top U.S. egg producers liable for unlawfully inflating prices. The jury found that the egg producers, including Cal-Maine Foods and Rose Acre, had conspired to charge artificially high prices, leading to a second trial to determine damages. Trade associations United Egg Producers and United States Egg Marketers were also found liable. Kraft and the other plaintiffs will argue for damages next week, with the plaintiffs not proposing a specific amount. The defendants deny any wrongdoing.
