KD NotMacandCheese has been created by The Kraft Heinz Not Company as a plant-based take on the classic Kraft Dinner for consumers in Canada to pick up soon. The product was created in collaboration between The Kraft Heinz Company and TheNotCompany, Inc. in response to increasing demand for plant-based fare. The product will come in two varieties including Original and White Cheddar, which both have a dairy-free formulation to help consumers of all ages enjoy the signature cheesy taste of Kraft Dinner without the cheese.
The KD NotMacandCheese pasta is being launched alongside the new KD Gluten-Free, which was developed following a petition that saw 15,000 loyal Kraft Dinner fans urging the brand to create a gluten-free variation of the classic.
