About MASHED POTATOES
Meijer Mashed Potatoes is a dehydrated instant mashed potato product from the Meijer brand, offering a quick and convenient side dish that rehydrates with hot water or milk. The ingredients are dehydrated potato, mono- and diglycerides (emulsifiers that help the potato rehydrate smoothly), and preservatives including sodium acid pyrophosphate (which prevents browning and maintains color), sodium bisulfite (a sulfite-class preservative), and citric acid.
Sodium bisulfite is a sulfite preservative; individuals with sulfite sensitivity or asthma should be aware of its presence. Sulfites at concentrations above 10 ppm require labeling under FDA rules, which applies here. No dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, or tree nuts are listed in the base formula; however, preparation with milk or butter (common for mashed potatoes) will add those allergens during cooking.
At 368 calories per 100 grams of dry powder and 78.95 grams of carbohydrates, this product is a high-starch, calorie-dense dry base before preparation. Once prepared with standard ratios of water or milk, the per-100g calorie count drops considerably. Fiber is 5.3 grams per 100 grams of dry powder from the dehydrated potato. Instant mashed potatoes are a convenient pantry staple for quick meal preparation and function as a side dish, a soup thickener, or a coating for fish or vegetable patties. Available from Meijer's dry goods and pasta aisle.
