About DELUXE SHELLS & CHEESE DINNER

Kroger Deluxe Shells and Cheese Dinner is a boxed macaroni and cheese product sold under The Kroger Co.'s standard Kroger brand. This product is structured as a three-component system: an enriched pasta, a liquid or wet cheese sauce pouch, and a dry powder component — a more elaborate format than the standard two-component boxed mac and cheese. It falls within the pasta dinners category.

The pasta is an enriched macaroni product combining wheat flour and durum flour with niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid. The cheese sauce contains water, cheddar cheese (from pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, and enzymes), soy and/or canola oil, whey, non-fat dry milk, maltodextrin, sodium phosphate (for emulsification), salt, natural flavors, beta carotene and paprika extract for natural color, lactic acid, sodium alginate (a seaweed-derived thickener), mono and diglycerides, and xanthan gum. The dry powder component is a blend of modified tapioca starch, corn syrup solids, maltodextrin, salt, acetic acid esters of mono and diglycerides, calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, guar gum, and silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent.

Nutritionally, per 100 grams this product provides 324 calories, 10.29 grams of protein, 47.06 grams of carbohydrates, and 11.76 grams of fat, with 1.5 grams of dietary fiber.
