About CHILI CHEESE MAC, CHEESY DINNER KIT

Market Pantry Chili Cheese Mac is a boxed macaroni and cheese dinner kit from Target's Market Pantry value-tier private-label line, featuring a Southwestern-inspired chili cheese flavor profile. The product consists of enriched wheat macaroni combined with a prepared cheese sauce and a chili seasoning packet, designed for stovetop preparation. Market Pantry is Target's entry-level store brand offering everyday grocery staples.

The enriched macaroni product is made from wheat flour and durum flour with standard B-vitamin enrichment. The cheese sauce packet contains cheddar cheese in a water base with canola oil, whey, non-fat dry milk, maltodextrin, sodium phosphate as an emulsifying salt, and sorbic acid as a preservative. Color is added via beta-carotene and paprika extract. The chili seasoning adds ancho and chili powders, tomato powder, garlic powder, hydrolyzed corn protein (a flavor enhancer), and artificial colorings Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 in addition to paprika extract.
