BEECHER'S, GLUTEN FREE MAC & CHEESE
Analysis updated July 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This gluten-free mac and cheese features a relatively clean ingredient list with beneficial components like milk, cheddar cheese, and jack cheese, which provide essential nutrients such as calcium and protein. However, it is a processed food with a moderate level of processing, which limits its score potential. The use of gluten-free pasta made from non-GMO corn and rice flour is a positive aspect, but the overall processing level and presence of multiple ingredients prevent it from achieving a higher score.
