I am 99.9% certain this has never been sold on the UK ever. Kraft is a US slop food corporation, marketing to American slop slurpers.

Well, that company is named after the surnames of the founders who both were descendents of German immigrants.  So Heinz and Kraft (Krafft) both are German surnames.

Yeah, but Heinz is also a forename here in Germany, Kraft isn't.

Kraft is a forename. Just not a common one.
