Kraft Original Mac & Cheese Dinner Cups, 12-count

This single-serve cup features macaroni pasta made from enriched wheat flour, providing the familiar tender texture once cooked. The cheese sauce mix is made with whey and milk ingredients, along with cheese, to deliver the classic creamy flavor Kraft is known for. Vegetable oils (commonly including palm oil) are used to create a smooth consistency, while salt and natural and artificial flavors enhance taste. Sodium phosphate and citric acid help maintain texture and balance acidity, and annatto is used for color. No fresh dairy is required—everything is shelf-stable and designed for quick preparation with water.
