3 Cheese Mac & Cheese Bites, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find these bite-sized mac & cheese snacks in the freezer aisle or on a party tray — crunchy, cheesy finger food made for sharing. They give a nostalgic, indulgent vibe (childhood mac & cheese turned into a snack) while positioning as a convenient, slightly 'better-for-you' option. The long ingredient list with starches, gums, cheese powders and leavening agents indicates industrial reformulation for uniform texture and shelf stability, which are typical signs of NOVA 4 ultraprocessed foods.
