Deluxe Shells & Cheese Microwaveable Dinner Mix

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

H-E-B Deluxe Shells & Cheese Microwaveable Dinner Mix 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.

H-E-B Deluxe Shells & Cheese Microwaveable Dinner Mix lists 22 ingredients, starting with Organic Cheddar Cheese (Organic Pasteurized Milk), Cheese Culture, Salt, Water and Organic Butter (Pasteurized Organic Sweet Cream (Milk), Lactic Acid). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 H-E-B Deluxe Shells & Cheese Microwaveable Dinner Mix scores worse than most frozen meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in frozen meals is Amy's Spinach & Ricotta Cheese Ravioli Bowl at 92/100.
