About CHEDDAR & PARMESAN MACARONI & CHEESE, CHEDDAR & PARMESAN

Good & Gather Cheddar and Parmesan Macaroni and Cheese is a prepared pasta dish sold under Target's Good & Gather private-label brand, launched in 2019, and classified under pasta dinners. It is a ready-to-eat or heat-and-serve refrigerated macaroni and cheese using multiple cheese varieties and a stabilized sauce system.

The ingredient list begins with cooked macaroni (semolina wheat flour enriched with niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid, plus egg white), followed by whole milk, water, a pasteurized process cheese spread (cheddar and Colby cheese, sodium phosphate, whey protein concentrate, skim milk, milk fat, carrageenan, cellulose gum), cheddar cheese (with annatto extract and natamycin), butter, parmesan cheese, modified corn starch, cheddar club cheese, salt, annatto extract, and nisin preparation. The multi-cheese sauce system uses sodium phosphate as an emulsifier, carrageenan as a stabilizer, and cellulose gum as a thickener. Natamycin prevents surface mold in the aged cheeses. Nisin acts as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial in the prepared refrigerated environment. Annatto provides the characteristic orange color.

Allergens include wheat (semolina), dairy (multiple cheese forms, whole milk, butter), and eggs (egg white in the pasta).
