Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Deluxe

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Deluxe scores 33/100 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 Macaroni & Cheese Deluxe lists 24 ingredients, starting with Cheese Sauce, Whey, Cheddar Cheese, Milk and Cheese Culture. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 33/100 Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Deluxe scores worse than most pasta & noodles we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & noodles is Western Family Signature Rigatoni at 99/100.
