Daiya Boxed Mac and Cheese Review
Daiya Cheddar Mac and Cheese Review
Daiya Cheddar Mac and Cheese Ingredients: Rice Pasta (White Rice, Brown Rice), Maltodextrin (Corn, Potato), Sea Salt, Corn Starch, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavor, Annatto and Paprika Extracts (Color), Sunflower Lecithin, Torula Yeast, Spice.
Thoughts: This one didn’t taste very cheddar-y to us and more oily than what we would have liked. It was our least favorite out of the three products.
Allergens: There are no Top 9 Allergens listed in the products.
Daiya White Cheddar Mac and Cheese Review
Daiya White Cheddar Mac and Cheese Ingredients: Rice Pasta (White Rice, Brown Rice), Tapioca Maltodextrin, Sea Salt, Corn Starch, Yeast Extract, Pea Flour, Natural Flavor, Lactic Acid, Calcium Lactate, Annatto Extract (Color).
Thoughts: This one had a much better taste. Honestly, we prefer the Kraft x Notco White Cheddar box mac and cheese, however, we’d still buy this one if it was the only option. It still had an overall good taste and more of a cheesy taste than the regular cheddar.
Allergens: There are no Top 9 Allergens listed in the products.
Daiya Aged Cheddar Mac and Cheese Review
Daiya Aged Cheddar Mac and Cheese Ingredients: Rice Pasta (White Rice, Brown Rice), Maltodextrin (Corn, Potato), Sea Salt, Corn Starch, Tapioca Strach, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavor, Pea Flour, Annatto and Paprika Extracts (Color), Sunflower Lecithin, Torula Yeast, Citric Acid, Spice.
Thoughts: This was our favorite out of the three options. It had a great cheese flavor. Probably one of our favorites boxed mac and cheese options.
Allergens: There are no Top 9 Allergens listed in the products.
Overall Thoughts
There’s a few things that we want to call out.
- We really enjoy these Daiya boxed mac and cheese options compared to their liquid cheese mac and cheese options. The flavor of the cheese is much better.
- The gluten free pasta was better than other gluten free options but you could still taste a chewiness to it that most gluten free pasta have.
- The aged cheddar was our favorite and probably the only one we’d buy on a consistent basis.
- The price is comparable to other vegan boxed mac and cheese brands.
- We love that Daiya is expanding their line and seemingly listening to what customers want and only improving in the years that we’ve been vegan.

This product is now useless – used to be a real go to for me with my gluten/casein free child – the box says gluten and dairy free but in order to prepare it you need butter and milk – dishonest advertising – stay away – it went from a great product to a waste of money
Hi Maryanne – Daiya did update their recipe/product from the time we did this review. The new box ingredients does say to add butter and milk with an * that says “we recommend unsweetened dairy-free milk and dairy-free butter”. Daiya is a 100% vegan company. Hope this helps
