Learn More About Crystal Light

Kraft Foods Inc., the parent company of Crystal Light drinks, is the creator of many food products that are now a staple diet in the American household. The company was the first to produce so many different types of foods that its history reads like the history of food itself. Three of the most important names in the food industry who can be considered the founders of the Kraft Foods brands, are Oscar Meyer who, in 1883, started a meat business , C.W. Post who began the Postum Cereal Company, that was later called General Foods Corporation, and J.L. Kraft, who in 1903, began a successful cheese business .

The company started through the efforts of J.L. Kraft, who used $65, a horse he called Paddy, and a rented wagon, began buying cheese wholesale and reselling to local shopkeepers. With his four brothers in 1909, he incorporated the business as J.L. Kraft & Bros. Co. After buying their first cheese factory, they started producing processed cheese, which they packaged in small tin cans. That product was soon patented in 1916, and shortly after the company began selling these cans of cheese to the United States Government’s armed troops in World War 1. The company’s growth continued at a phenomenal rate and the company’s name was changed in 1976 to Kraft, Inc.

The company is well known for many products such as, Philadelphia cream cheese, Velveeta processed cheese, Miracle Whip dressing, Kraft macaroni and cheese dinners, the cereal Post Grape Nuts, Post Toasties, Baker’s Chocolate, Minute Tapioca, Maxwell House coffee, Log Cabin Syrup, Honey Maid Crackers, Oreo Cookies, and Crystal Light to name just a few products.
