About EXTRA CREAMY CLASSIC MACARONI AND CHEESE, EXTRA CREAMY CLASSIC

Marketside Extra Creamy Classic Macaroni and Cheese is a refrigerated prepared meal from Walmart's Marketside fresh deli line, offering a significantly more indulgent mac and cheese experience than the shelf-stable boxed variety. The extra creamy designation is backed by a multi-cheese sauce system: the product contains pasteurized process cheese spread (cheddar and colby blend), additional cheddar cheese, butter, parmesan cheese, and cheddar club cheese — five distinct dairy components producing a rich, velvety sauce.

The pasta is cooked durum wheat semolina enriched with niacin, ferrous sulfate, and B vitamins, and notably includes egg in the pasta dough, which contributes to the slightly richer texture and also means egg is an allergen. The sauce is thickened with modified corn starch and stabilized with carrageenan and cellulose gum. Nisin preparation (a natural antimicrobial peptide from lactic acid bacteria) serves as a clean-label preservation agent, replacing more synthetic preservatives. Annatto extract provides the orange color. Allergens include wheat, milk (multiple forms), eggs, and soy (from potential cross-contact; check current label).
