Over half of all consumers try to avoid added hormones in their food*, so KRAFT is excited to announce that its natural cheese is now made from fresh milk without rbST – including shredded cheese, natural slices, blocks and snacking cheese.

“Everything we do at KRAFT revolves around the families that love our cheeses and what we can do to delight our consumers,” said Anne Field, Director of Brand Building for KRAFT. “Our goal is to give families KRAFT cheese the way it should be, with the same great taste and without the artificial hormone rbST at no additional cost. As the #1 national brand of cheese in the homes of American families**, we’re excited to give people another reason to love us.”
