KFC Macaroni & Cheese: nutrition and allergens

Nutrition facts

Percentages are the share of the FDA Daily Value for adults and children 4 and over, worked out from KFC’s published amounts (how % Daily Value works). A dash means KFC does not publish that value for this size.

Using the FDA’s rule of thumb that 5% of the Daily Value or less per serving is low and 20% or more is high, the Individual size is high in sodium (26%) and is low in dietary fiber and added sugars. Add it up with other items in the KFC nutrition calculator.

KFC lists 0 g added sugars for the Family size although it lists 8 g total sugars; this site leaves added sugars out for that size.

Allergens

According to KFC, the Macaroni & Cheese contains gluten, milk, egg and wheat.

KFC says its kitchens handle egg, milk, soy, wheat and other allergens, items can be prepared on shared equipment, and it cannot rule out cross-contact. In some restaurants fish, chicken and potatoes may share fryer oil. Several items contain or are cooked in highly refined soybean oil, which the FDA does not treat as an allergen. KFC does not use peanuts or tree nuts, but says the Café Valley chocolate chip and lemon cakes may contain traces of tree nuts. Vegetarian ingredients are handled alongside meat. Allergen data reflects standard recipes and may vary with suppliers, substitutions and recipe changes. MSG is reported alongside the allergens.
