PACKETS OF KRAFT POWDERED CHEESE WITHOUT THE MACARONI!!!!

isto

Recently someone asked if there was any way to get just the GF packets from the Kraft Mac and Cheese without buying the box and having to throw out the macaroni. I contacted Kraft and this was the reply!

Hi Danita,

Thank you for visiting http://www.kraftfoods.com/.

Great news! We do actually package and sell this cheese separately!

The product is called KRAFT Macaroni and Cheese Cheese Topping. It comes in a 3-ounce blue and yellow canister with an easy-to-open shaker top, and it's usually sold in stores near our grated parmesan cheese.

While we do make it available throughout the U.S., it is in limited distribution. I recommend contacting our KRAFT Sales Office that services your area. The sales office telephone number is 1-800-428-4543.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you again soon!

Is there a way I could order just the cheese packets so that we Celiacs can have your wonderful Mac and Cheese again (on our gluten-free pasta)?

So there you have it! ENJOY!!!

We actually have this.

Peg said, "I bet this is the same stuff!!"

She will be pleased to know she was right. Very Happy

Thanks Danita!

Great idea to put it on pop corn. I bet it is as messy as eating cheese puffs used to be. Wink

OK Junk Food Junkies...all this talk of Kraft Mac n Cheese made me hungry for it.

I had a bag of Tinky Elbow macaroni. So I boiled up a 1/2 a bag. Used about 1/3 of a cup of the cheese (about 1/2 of the canister). We measured the amount of cheese from a real Kraft Mac & Cheese we made for Peg to figure out how much to use.

Tastes like Kraft to me...

I think it still might be more cost effective to buy the Mac n Cheese. Peg doesn't remember how much this canister of 3 oz cost. She thinks around 2.00.

Here's the canister of cheese:

Does this color look familiar?

Heck I have been buying mac n cheese forever and using the pasta for salads and the cheese powder for my daughters rice pasta. Sometimes I throw out the pasta. I will hunt down this can of cheese now! Thanks for letting us know about it! ~Duchess

I just picked up 2 containers. Even though I think your correct about the cost effectiveness. I'll continue to bye these. To bad they don't sell it in a container the size of the grated Parm. cheese. Great pictures Al. I think you have a future!

I have not checked yet to see if it available in my area. The boxes of Mac and cheese here are $1. On sale maybe $.60 - .70 each.

The nice thing about the canister is that you have it for other things, too - like popcorn or whatever.

Urgh! Just talked to Kraft. They used to sell 16oz. containers of this product but not enough sales. You know the rest. They only make it in 3oz. containers now.
