Macaroni and Cheese Thick & Creamy

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

H-E-B Macaroni and Cheese Thick & Creamy scores 67/100 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.

H-E-B Macaroni and Cheese Thick & Creamy lists 9 ingredients, starting with Enriched Flour, Whey, Cheddar Cheese, Whey Protein Concentrate and Non Fat Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 67/100 H-E-B Macaroni and Cheese Thick & Creamy lands mid-scale — below the typical score in prepared meals, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Kroger Sliced Bananas at 100/100.
