The elbow macaroni contains wheat and egg white. The sauce ingredients include whole milk, sharp cheddar, Parmesan/Romano cheese, butternut squash and sweet potato, with bay leaf, nutmeg, white pepper and cayenne. Peas are separately listed as the accompaniment. [2]
history
The October 2008 Emeryville review lists child-sized macaroni and cheese among nine choices sold individually or in a three-choice meal. It predates the modern peas-accompanied serving but does not establish the same recipe or portion. [3]
nutrition
The children’s table includes peas with the macaroni. Egg, milk and wheat are listed allergens, with shared-equipment cross-contact possible. [2]
