Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Bob Evans Macaroni & cheese scores 48/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Bob Evans Macaroni & cheese lists 9 ingredients, starting with Cooked Enriched Pasta, Milk, Water, Pasteurized Process Cheese Spread and Cheddar Club Cheese. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 48/100 Bob Evans Macaroni & cheese lands mid-scale — below the typical score in frozen meals, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in frozen meals is Amy's Spinach & Ricotta Cheese Ravioli Bowl at 92/100.
