Deluxe Velveeta & Shells Pasta Kit

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 9 ingredients to avoid

Kraft Deluxe Velveeta & Shells Pasta Kit 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 10g protein and 4g sugar. 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.

Kraft Deluxe Velveeta & Shells Pasta Kit lists 40 ingredients, starting with Pasta, Cheese Sauce, Water, Modified Milk Ingredients and Cheddar Cheese. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

280 kcal per serving, or 318 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kraft Deluxe Velveeta & Shells Pasta Kit on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Kraft Deluxe Velveeta & Shells Pasta Kit scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amylu Organic Chicken Meatballs at 97/100.
