About MACARONI & CHEESE
Kroger Macaroni and Cheese is a dry boxed mac and cheese dinner from the Kroger brand, featuring enriched macaroni and a powdered cheese sauce mix. The macaroni uses wheat flour enriched with glycerol monostearate (an emulsifier added at the pasta stage), niacin, ferrous sulfate, and B-vitamins. The cheese sauce powder is built around maltodextrin, a semisoft cheese made from milk, whey, palm oil, corn syrup solids, nonfat milk, modified corn starch, sodium phosphate, and cheddar cheese. Sodium caseinate (a milk-derived protein) is also in the sauce mix.
Color comes from turmeric oleoresin (natural) and Yellow 6 Lake (synthetic FD&C dye). Natural and artificial flavors, guar gum, dipotassium phosphate, monoglycerides, and sodium silicoaluminate round out the sauce mix. Acetylated mono- and diglycerides, potassium chloride, and calcium silicate are additional processing aids.
At 379 calories per 100 grams (58 gram dry serving) with 10.34 grams of protein, 68.97 grams of carbohydrates, 6.9 grams of fat, and 1.7 grams of fiber, this is a high-carbohydrate convenience meal. Allergens include wheat (macaroni), dairy (milk, whey, cheddar cheese, sodium caseinate, butter), and soy (potentially via palm oil processing — not declared). Yellow 6 artificial dye and artificial flavors are present. Sodium caseinate is a hidden dairy allergen relevant for those with milk protein allergies.
