About CLASSIC MILD CHEDDAR MACARONI & CHEESE, CLASSIC MILD CHEDDAR
Simply Balanced Classic Mild Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese is a boxed pasta dinner sold under Target's Simply Balanced brand, a natural and organic-positioned private label that existed prior to and alongside the Good & Gather rebrand. The pasta component uses organic wheat semolina, and the cheese sauce powder is made from conventional dairy ingredients including whey, cheddar cheese, wheat flour, nonfat dry milk, milk protein concentrate, and cultured whole milk.
The sauce powder contains sodium phosphate as an emulsifying salt, natural flavor, annatto extract for orange color, and lactic acid for mild tang. Unlike the Good & Gather organic version, the dairy components in Simply Balanced's sauce mix are not certified organic, though the macaroni itself uses organic semolina. The wheat flour in the sauce mix adds a small amount of starch for thickening.
Allergens present include wheat (pasta and sauce flour) and dairy (multiple dairy ingredients throughout the sauce mix). A 71-gram dry serving contains 352 calories (approximately 496 calories per 100 grams), 14.1 grams of protein, 70.4 grams of carbohydrates with 1.4 grams of fiber, and only 3.5 grams of fat — making this one of the lower-fat boxed mac and cheese formulations available. The product is suitable for vegetarians but not for dairy-free or gluten-free consumers. Simply Balanced has since been largely superseded by Good & Gather as Target's clean-label private label platform.
