About MACARONI WITH BEEF IN TOMATO SAUCE
Kroger Macaroni with Beef in Tomato Sauce is a canned ready-to-eat pasta meal from the Kroger brand. The base is tomato puree (water and tomato paste), water, and enriched wheat macaroni, with ground beef providing protein. The formulation is largely minimalistic but includes HFCS as a sweetener — a common but notable additive in canned pasta sauces. Yeast extract and enzyme-modified Romano cheese (made from cow's milk) contribute savory, umami-forward flavor depth.
Modified corn starch thickens the tomato sauce, and potassium chloride is used as a sodium substitute to help manage sodium levels. Natural flavor, spice extract, spice, and caramel color round out the flavor and appearance profile. The Romano cheese component uses disodium phosphate as an emulsifier. Citric acid provides acidity balance.
At 100 calories per 249 gram serving with 3.61 grams of protein, 13.65 grams of carbohydrates, 3.61 grams of fat, and 1.2 grams of fiber, this is a low-calorie, convenience canned meal. Allergens include wheat (macaroni) and dairy (Romano cheese, cow's milk). No egg, soy, nut, or sesame allergens are declared. HFCS is present. This is a budget-friendly canned pasta option appropriate for quick lunches or emergency pantry meals. The beef content is low relative to the total serving, as it falls below the 2% threshold in the label order.
