About CLASSIC AGED CHEDDAR SHELLS & CHEESE

Sam's Choice Classic Aged Cheddar Shells and Cheese is positioned under Walmart's Sam's Choice brand, a premium private label designed to deliver above-average quality at competitive pricing — comparable to Kraft Velveeta Shells and Cheese but with aged cheddar as a differentiation claim. Each 102-gram serving provides 333 calories, 55.88 grams of carbohydrates, 8.82 grams of fat, 8.82 grams of protein, and 2 grams of fiber.

The pasta component uses enriched wheat flour with ferrous sulfate for iron fortification. The cheese sauce system is built on food starch-modified as a thickener, canola oil as the fat carrier, salt, whey, and actual cheddar cheese (pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes) as the dairy base — a meaningfully better cheese input than many comparable products that rely entirely on processed cheese or cheese powder. Maltodextrin serves as a carrier for the sauce blend. Allergens include wheat (pasta), dairy (whey, cheddar cheese, nonfat dry milk, sodium caseinate, butter oil), and soy (sunflower lecithin listed, but soybean oil is also present).

Flavor enhancers include yeast extract. Beta-carotene and paprika extract provide the natural yellow-orange color, with no artificial dyes declared. Sodium alginate, mono- and diglycerides, glyceryl monostearate, and xanthan gum are emulsifiers and thickeners that maintain sauce consistency. Sorbic acid is the preservative for the sauce packet. Lactic acid and glucono delta lactone serve as acidulants for flavor and pH control. This product is appropriate for consumers seeking a step up from standard mac and cheese with real aged cheddar flavor, though it remains a processed pasta dinner.
