Kraft Foods is a food production company based in Illinois in the USA. It manufactures and distributes food products to almost every part of the world.
History
Kraft Foods started out in many places around the globe and with many innovators in the production of food products. The history of Kraft foods dates back to 1767, when Bayldon, Berry and Joseph Terry founded Terry’s of York in York, England. It sold candied fruit peel known as Cote d’Or which was introduced in 1883.
Maxwell Coffee was founded by Joel Cheek in 1892 when he created a special blend of coffee for the Maxwell House Hotel.
In 1903, James .L. Kraft opened a new cheese manufacturing plant in Chicago, Illinois. When Vegemite cheese was introduced by Fred Walker & Co. in Melbourne, Kraft bought a share.
In 1927, Kool-Aid was introduced by Edwin Perkins. He modified a soft drink and concentrated it into a powder. In 1928, the company bought Phenix Cheese Corporation, the makers of Philadelphia cream cheese. When Kraft bought the company, its name was changed to Kraft-Phenix Corporation. In 1937, Kraft introduced a new line of ready to eat meals and named it Kraft Dinner. The Oscar Mayer advertisement was featured in TV in 1963.
A few years later, General Foods merged with a Korean company Dong Suh Foods. In Japan, it merged with Ajinomoto and formed a new company, Ajinomoto General Foods (AGF). In 1981, Oscar Mayer & Co, Inc. was sold to General Foods. Again, in 1985, General Foods was sold to Philip Morris Cos. In 1986, Tombstone Pizza Corp. was bought by Kraft foods, which was later acquired by Philip Morris Cos. After that, the company started producing convenience meals under the name Lunchables. The merging of Kraft and General Foods was a major event of 1989.
By 1992, the company expanded its business to Europe. Another merging took place in 2000, when Philip Morris Cos. bought Nabisco Holdings Corporation. The company became public in 2001. On Feb. 2, 2010, Kraft acquired Cadbury chocolate.

Where can I get Kraft Miracle French Dressing?
I would like to know where I can get Kraft Miracle French Dressing?
Evening – Last summer I purchased your Kraft Miracle Whip Secret Burger Sauce – love it. But guess what – it’s not in any of the stores I shop in the 29568 area. I thought it might be just a summer item – but here it is summertime/BBQ season and I can’t find it. I’m on my last bottle of it. HELP me out here!! Thank you – Sandy Steer
We buy your sugar free jello. When we have eaten this it reacts in our mouths as if something is burning. I will not purchase this product any longer.
I remember buying a creamy chicken noodle dinner in a brown box that was delicious then it was gone!!! Are you ever going to be selling it again? Quite a few people i know also want it back!!!
I love your Kraft one step cole slaw dressing but are unable to find it in Las Vegas.
