About MASHED POTATOES
This Meijer Mashed Potatoes entry is a variant of the same dehydrated instant mashed potato product line with a slightly different ingredient format declaration compared to entry 1941164. The formula is functionally identical: dehydrated potato with emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides) and preservatives (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bisulfite, citric acid), but listed with the emulsifier and preservatives described as integral to the dehydrated potato rather than as separate ingredients. The key additive concern remains the same: sodium bisulfite is a sulfite preservative requiring disclosure and relevant to sulfite-sensitive individuals.
A notable difference in this USDA entry is the protein value of 10.53 grams per 100 grams of dry powder versus 5.26 grams in the other entry, suggesting a database measurement discrepancy between submissions rather than a formulation difference. The carbohydrate (78.95 grams), fat (0 grams), and fiber (5.3 grams) values are consistent across entries.
This product is free of gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, and tree nuts in its base dry state. It is vegan in dry form. The sulfite preservative content means it is not appropriate for those with sulfite sensitivities. Preparation directions typically call for boiling water; customizing with butter and milk is common but adds allergens not present in the dry product. It is stocked in Meijer's dry goods aisle as a value-priced pantry staple.
