About MACARONI & CHEESE DINNER
Penny Smart Macaroni and Cheese Dinner is a boxed macaroni and cheese sold under the Penny Smart brand of Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter. Penny Smart is Meijer's value-tier private label, offering essential grocery products at the lowest price point in the Meijer brand portfolio. The enriched macaroni is made from wheat flour with malted barley flour for additional flavor and standard B-vitamin and iron enrichment. The cheese sauce packet uses dairy product solids as the primary cheese ingredient—a more economical formulation than block cheddar—followed by enriched bleached flour, salt, and whey. Cheddar cheese is present at under 2%, along with buttermilk solids, nonfat milk, and butter for flavor. Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6 provide the characteristic orange-yellow color, reflecting the use of artificial colorants rather than natural turmeric or beta carotene found in premium variants. Per 100 grams, the product provides 357 calories, with protein at 11.43 grams, carbohydrates at 71.43 grams, fat at 1.43 grams, and fiber at 1.4 grams. Contains wheat and dairy allergens. The artificial color profile (Yellow 5 and 6) may be relevant for consumers with dye sensitivities.
