Mac And Cheese Cheese Powder

[kbtoyssni]

I think remember someone on here mentioning that the cheese powder in mac and cheese is gluten-free. I can't find the thread now, so I was wondering if someone could give me some more details. Is it only specific brands that are gluten-free? Can you buy the powder separately from the noodles, because it seems stupid to buy the whole box when all I want is the powder? I'm going grocery shopping for a camping trip in a couple hours so I'm hoping someone can reply quickly! Thanks!

I think it was Chelsea (Penguin) who has the inside dope on this... some powder that's often near the popcorn, I seem to recall?

Yes - it's made by Kraft and is near the parmesan cheese (the green containers of it).

Cabot also makes one that is gluten-free - but I don't think that's as readily available.

there is even a zip code store locator.

All cabot prodcuts are gluten-free by the way.

The cheese is in a skinny blue can and it says "shake on popcorn" on it. I've seen it near the popcorn, near the other Kraft parmesan, and near the velveets...all depends on the store. I've noticed that its usually hidden, though

While I hate wasting the noodles, it's much more cost effective to just buy the boxed mac and cheese - and do something else with the noodles. The can only provides enough cheese for what 2 boxes would make, and it costs about 3 x as much.

ok, thanks for the info everyone! This is going to be a great camping trip now that I can make mac and cheese
