About CHEDDAR & PARMESAN MACARONI & CHEESE, CHEDDAR & PARMESAN

Good & Gather Cheddar and Parmesan Macaroni and Cheese is a prepared refrigerated pasta dish sold under Target's Good & Gather private-label brand and listed under the other deli category in this USDA entry. The formulation and nutritional profile are identical to the pasta dinners category entry for the same product, representing a duplicate submission under a different database category classification.

The ingredient composition mirrors the pasta dinners entry exactly: cooked macaroni from semolina wheat flour enriched with B vitamins, iron, and folic acid, with egg white; whole milk; water; pasteurized process cheese spread (cheddar and Colby with sodium phosphate, whey protein concentrate, carrageenan, cellulose gum); cheddar cheese with annatto and natamycin; butter; parmesan cheese; modified corn starch; cheddar club cheese; salt; annatto extract; and nisin antimicrobial preparation. The stabilizer and antimicrobial system is identical across both entries. The presence of carrageenan, a polysaccharide derived from red seaweed, is used for thickening and texture maintenance in the cheese sauce through refrigerated storage.

Per 100 grams, the product provides 136 calories with 6.36 grams of protein, 12.73 grams of carbohydrates, 6.82 grams of fat, and 0.9 grams of fiber. The serving size is 220 grams. Allergens include wheat, dairy, and eggs. The product is not vegan, not gluten-free, and unsuitable for dairy or egg-allergic consumers. The dual USDA category entries reflect a common occurrence in the branded foods database where the same product is submitted or assigned to multiple food categories.
