Common Questions about Mac and Cheese Wagon Wheels, 7.25 OZ
This mac and cheese offers a decent protein punch with 12 grams per serving, which is great for growing kids. However, it does contain some sodium (430 mg) and is not high in fiber, so while it can fit into a balanced diet, it's best enjoyed alongside some veggies or a fresh side salad to round things out.
