Kraft Mac & Cheese Pasta & Cheese Sauce Mix

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Kraft Mac & Cheese Pasta & Cheese Sauce Mix scores 38/100 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.

Kraft Mac & Cheese Pasta & Cheese Sauce Mix lists 20 ingredients, starting with Enriched Wheat Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Whey, Milk Fat and Milk Protein Concentrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 38/100 Kraft Mac & Cheese Pasta & Cheese Sauce Mix scores worse than most pasta & noodles we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & noodles is Western Family Signature Rigatoni at 99/100.
