kraft mac and cheese tasting like straight chemicals

[Anonymous]

No lectures needed here! I eat is on occasion when I'm in a hurry the last few boxes over the last few months have not tasted of cheese or even fake cheese but straight up chemicals. And yes enough to not eat it once a month but has anyone else WHO EATS this noticed a change?

I don’t know what’s up with it. My kid liked it, but the last few boxes I’ve made, the cheese just clumps up.

I used to be a hardcore Kraft girl, but I now am really into the Trader Joe's one. Yellow box. I also like Goodles mac & cheese when it's on sale.

They changed the formula a few years ago, to move from artificial food coloring to natural food dyes (paprika, annatto, and turmeric). It was slightly different (and benefitted from some additional salt). Have they changed it again?

Yes, it is now gross and I used to buy it sometimes.

It has an unrecognizable taste. I refuse to buy it now.

Its absolutely terrible! Uneditable. I don't know what's happening to food quality these days or places changing the taste of things now is not the time to lose customers.

I bought grapes the last two weeks at giant organic and regular they taste terrible like pesticide! Im tried of buying bad food when its so expensive these days.

Yes. No cheese flavor whats so ever. Tastes terrible.

Haven't noticed any changes. We usually make it with half of the recommended amount of butter. Not as good as Velveeta shells and cheese. I think the box mac and cheese is better than any restaurant Mac and cheese.

It doesn’t taste like anything to me at all now. Just utterly flavorless. So disappointing.

Goodles are really delicious. I also like Annie’s super Mac white shells and cheese and the Parmesan peace sign one.

My kids swear by the Lidl brand one. I don’t eat Mac and cheese so I don’t know, but that’s their favorite. Bonus is that it’s cheap, usually $.57 a box!

This-- there's really no taste and only 3/4 of the noodles. We just go through the motions when kid wants their mac & cheese fix. Eats a bit. We use the leftovers in soup.
