Too much salt!!! We all could barely eat it. Please reduce the exorbitant amount of salt you add to kids food!

I promised my 5 year old son I would write to the company lol. We have always loved this product. He has eaten this as his exclusive mac and cheese his whole life. When I made his recent bowl, he told me I didn't make it right. As I noticed the "now cheesier" flavor, I told him the company changed the recipe and he burst into tears. Please bring the original recipe back!

horrible aftertaste after ingredient change. the creaminess and buttery characteristics of the original recipe have been replaced with rubbery chemical taste absent of any cheese taste. quality has taken a backseat to profit sadly and has been compromised adversely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Annie’s Shells & White Cheddar Mac & Cheese is our go-to for a quick, comforting meal with better-for-you ingredients. The white cheddar sauce is creamy and flavorful, with a tangy sharpness that tastes like real cheese—not the artificial kind you get in many boxed versions. The shell-shaped pasta is perfect for soaking up all that cheesy goodness, and it’s made with organic ingredients and no artificial colors or preservatives. My two-year-old loves it, which makes it an easy win at mealtime. We like to add a sprinkle of oregano to give it an herby twist—it really elevates the flavor without much effort. It’s fast to make (ready in under 15 minutes), and always hits the spot. It is enough for four to eat.

Like many other of the more recent reviews, this is terrible. It’s Justin betraying Britney bad. It’s Russell Crowe being cast in Les Mis bad. It’s Trump’s toupée bad. It’s McGregor’s leg break bad. For the love of all things decent, Annie’s, bring back the old recipe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loooove mac and cheese. Cuz, well, cheese. Annie’s brand is one of my favorites. I think their cheese sauce is own do the better flavored ones. I always doctor up boxed Mac n cheese, using heavy cream and extra cheese. For just me, I also add freshly ground pepper and dry mustard (makes it taste more homemade). For this sample I made it according to instructions. Pasta cooked slightly al dente (I hate mushy pasta!!) The taste was pretty good straight outta the box. I would definitely buy this again.

I used to look forward to eating Annie’s White Cheddar mac and cheese. I don’t anymore with the new recipe change. I’ll be going back to Kraft White Cheddar mac and cheese from now on.

The new recipe is HORRIBLE!!!! I have always been such a huge fan of the original white cheddar shells from Annie’s. I would buy 5-6 boxes at a time because it was soo good. The new recipe that they put out to save money is just disappointing. My favorite food since my CHILDHOOD has been ruined. I will not be buying anything from this company ever again. EDIT: Annie’s took down my review.

The sauce packets aren’t sealed in 75 % of the boxes I purchase. The powder gets all over uncooked pasta and also the sauces flavor is altered after losing some of its contents. Very sad for such an easy problem to fix.

Bad Flavor

I thought I got a one-off bad box it tasted so weird. I bought another box much later and from a different store, and it was the same, so I guess that’s their new recipe. It tastes nothing like cheese. I ate it because I had to (I was hungry), but not because I wanted to. Won’t be buying again.

Healthier Option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Annie’s Mac and Cheese has always been a comforting classic, but the Now Cheesier version takes it to a whole new level. The cheese sauce is noticeably richer, creamier, and more flavorful—it wraps around every noodle in that perfect, velvety way that just makes you smile. Whether you’re whipping it up for a quick lunch, a cozy dinner, or a late-night craving, it delivers every time. It’s nostalgic, satisfying, and somehow even more delicious than I remember. If you loved Annie’s before, this new version might just become your favorite comfort food.
Scrumptious
