About MACARONI & CHEESE
Meijer Macaroni and Cheese is a boxed mac and cheese dinner sold under the Meijer private label of Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. This product is notable for using whole wheat flour alongside durum wheat flour in the enriched macaroni, which adds fiber and nutritional value compared to standard all-white pasta. The cheddar cheese sauce packet contains whey as the primary dairy ingredient, enriched bleached flour, and actual cheddar cheese. The color comes from natural turmeric and beta carotene rather than artificial dyes—a clean-label distinction from many competing box mac and cheese products. Additionally, a small amount of blue cheese is included in the sauce, lending a subtle complexity beyond typical cheddar-only formulations. Rosemary extract functions as a natural preservative. Per 100 grams of dry product, the mix provides approximately 357 calories, with protein at 12.86 grams, fat at 1.43 grams, and fiber at 2.9 grams. The carbohydrate value of 0 in the USDA record appears to be a data artifact; the product is inherently high in carbohydrates from the pasta. Contains wheat and dairy as declared allergens. No artificial colors are used. This is a comparatively premium formulation within the private-label mac and cheese category.
