White Cheddar Deluxe Mac & Cheese

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Daiya White Cheddar Deluxe Mac & Cheese scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Daiya White Cheddar Deluxe Mac & Cheese lists 17 ingredients, starting with Rice Pasta, White Rice, Brown Rice, Dairy-free Cheese Sauce and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Daiya White Cheddar Deluxe Mac & Cheese scores worse than most pasta & noodles we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & noodles is Rao's Homemade Spaghetti at 100/100.
