Q: Is the enzymes in the cheese in this product microbial enzymes?
submitted by JM - 3 months ago
A: Typically, enzymes in cheese and other ingredients are vegetable or microbial based. Animal based enzymes are used in some applications. Although the government does not require vendors to inform us which process they use, they do all meet the required government specifications. We hope this helps! -Candice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This isn’t your usual Mac & Cheese frozen meal! Just the right amount of noodles and cheese…the macaroni cooks perfectly per the instructions and the cheese is thick and creamy. Every bite is full of flavor!
Delicious Mac and Cheese option!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Mac and cheese was actually perfect! It didn't taste like a boxed Mac or anything. It tasted like REAL cheese and there were actually little clumps of cheddar cheese in the Mac. I was actually quite surprised at the taste and protein content! The portion was a little small but I was full after eating this and didn't feel like I needed any more food. Cooking was simple, just pop in the microwave and gooooo! Love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was happy to try this because I love white cheddar. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The flavor is ok but it has a frozen taste to it and the pasta just tastes strange to me. I personally would not buy it again.
Creamy, cheesy delight!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this! It has a nice creamy, cheesy texture. It looks appealing with the curly shaped noodles. It was easy to make and not messy. I felt satisfied after eating it and wasn’t still hungry. I feel good eating something healthier for me. Very affordable too!
Such a great TV dinner. You MUST try it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was soooooo good. It has such a cheesy and more cheesy flavor. It doesn't taste like something that would be made to keep you lean. It has great flavor. I added paprika, salt and pepper and it was delicious. Plus it has the protein kick, 18 G of protein.
Great taste

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Creamy cheesy and delicious. Had a great flavor and nice packaging. The only thing i would change is a bigger portion. This is ok for lunch, but dinner would need more. Im a macaroni and cheese fan and did like it overall
Not bad at all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the flavor of this. I was worried the cheese would be gross but it wasn't. My teenager loves mac and cheese and he loved how easy to cook and delicious this was.
Good Flavor, Extra Protein, Super Easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t able to try this myself since I have celiac, but my husband gave it a go and shared his thoughts. He said it wasn’t bad at all and it is definitely a solid option for a quick meal. He really likes that it has extra protein, which makes it feel a little more filling than a typical frozen mac & cheese. The convenience is a big plus and it is easy to pack for work, heats up quickly, and doesn’t take up much space in the freezer. The portion size works well for lunch, especially if you pair it with a side salad or some veggies. The flavor was good, though not as rich or cheesy as a homemade version, which is why we’re giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Still, it’s a nice balance of taste, convenience, and nutrition, and he’d definitely grab it again for a busy day.
Delicious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lean Cuisine’s White Cheddar Mac and Cheese is a surprisingly comforting frozen meal that delivers creamy, rich flavor in a convenient portion. The pasta cooks up tender, and the white cheddar sauce has a nice sharpness that feels more “homemade” than most frozen mac and cheese options. While the portion size is on the smaller side, it makes for a quick, satisfying lunch or a light dinner when you’re craving comfort food without the guilt. *I received free in exchange for an honest review
Good taste w/ less calories!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try the Lean Cuisine Vermont White Cheddar Mac & Cheese, and it did not disappoint! This mac and cheese is a total game-changer for a quick, healthy meal. It's rich, creamy, and has that perfect tangy flavor from the Vermont white cheddar. The pasta is cooked just right, not mushy at all. It's hard to believe this is a frozen meal! It's a fantastic option for anyone watching their calories or on a weight loss journey but still wants to enjoy delicious comfort food. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review, and I'm genuinely impressed. Highly recommend giving it a try! @influenster @leancuisine #complimentary #TeamLeanCuisine #leancuisine #weightloss

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lean Cuisine Vermont White Cheddar Mac & Cheese is pretty good for a frozen entrée. It’s creamy and tasty. The noodles are a little squishy, which I don’t like, but overall it’s decent.
Light and healthier option for Mac & Cheese

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good for being a microwave meal with protein, definitely would purchase again! The cheese felt a little gritty, probably because of the protein would be my guess, but overall it had good flavor.
Amazing
