Boss Cow Original Mac & Cheese

Third-party certification (Detox Project standard) verifying the finished product tests below detectable levels for glyphosate and AMPA residues. This is a meaningful guarantee for wheat-based products, as conventional wheat is one of the most heavily glyphosate-sprayed crops at harvest (pre-harvest desiccation). Combined with the organic certification, it provides strong assurance against the most common pesticide residue concern in pasta.

Raw (unpasteurized) cheddar aged 60+ days from 100% grass-fed cows producing only A2 beta-casein protein. Raw aged cheese retains heat-sensitive enzymes and beneficial bacteria, grass-fed dairy has a more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 ratio plus higher CLA and fat-soluble vitamins (A, K2), and A2/A2 milk is often better tolerated than standard A1 dairy. Organic certification rules out synthetic hormones, routine antibiotics, and GMO feed.

Whole milk from 100% grass-fed cows producing only A2 beta-casein. Grass-fed milk is higher in omega-3s, CLA, and fat-soluble vitamins than conventional milk, and the A2/A2 protein profile is generally easier to digest. Organic standards prohibit synthetic hormones and GMO feed.

Single-ingredient pasta made from organic durum wheat semolina with no synthetic enrichment (no added folic acid or iron). Organic certification eliminates synthetic pesticide residues, including glyphosate desiccation common in conventional wheat. Durum semolina is higher in protein than standard wheat flour, though it remains a refined grain with the bran and germ removed.

Minimally processed starch from the arrowroot tuber, used here as a clean thickener for the cheese sauce in place of seed-oil-based or gum-stabilized alternatives. Naturally gluten-free, easy to digest, and free from chemical extraction solvents.

Unrefined sea salt — a minimally processed, natural source of sodium and essential trace minerals, and a legitimate whole-food seasoning. Treated as a positive ingredient.
