Bad news sports fans: Some store shelves are running low on Velveeta, right during a prime season for the popular processed cheese, according to a company spokeswoman.
Some consumers may be unable to find Velveeta products in the next couple of weeks, Kraft Foods Group spokeswoman Jody Moore said by e-mail Tuesday. She did not provide any specific reasons for the shortage.
"This is really a short-term situation that is more noticeable during our current period of increased seasonal demand," she said.
Known for its smooth texture that makes it ideal for dips and cheeseburgers, Velveeta is a popular eat for game-watching parties - from college match-ups to the Super Bowl.

Y'all can take my share of Velveeta.
The only recipe I can stand to eat using Velveeta is the standard Rotelle dip with chips. But I have to say it's not the worst processed cheese out there...that honor falls to Cheeze Whiz.
CNN's motto: The best way to debunk a lie, is to create it in the first place.
I've noticed a pattern of CNN reporting on 'tech scammers' ('ScareWare'), who they were advertising for, just months before.
I don't think we can trust CNN as a news source, when we can't trust them to pass on lying about SuperBowl snack shortages.
Melt a block of Mexican Veleeta with a can of Rotels and a can of green chilis. Dip with Munchos.
Mexican Velveeta?
Made from the milk of burros.
Yep, Kraft makes a Mexican flavored Velveeta with peppers in it.
who cares. this stuff is toxic junk, eat real cheese.
This is a Conspiracy of the Highest Order. My team is all over this before the Super Bowl-Never Fear Fellow Citizens,WE will get to the bottom of the queso bowl for you.
Velveeta is cheese?
Nope. Not even close.
Velveeta is NOT cheese. It's a processed cheese food product, and thoroughly disgusting.
There's also a pending oil shortage. Coincidence?

Ack! Just don't like that stuff.
I am so with you on that one! Nastiest "cheese product" ever invented.
I'm not a fan of velveeta either. I much prefer to spend my cheese allotment on the real stuff.
