Ingredients with an unresolved source
The source or production method of pasta can vary, so it is not always vegan.
Niacin is normally synthesized, but the manufacturing source is not confirmed by this ingredient list.
Riboflavin can be produced by fermentation or other processes; the manufacturing source is not confirmed here.
The source or production method of sauce can vary, so it is not always vegan.
Vitamin D3 is often derived from lanolin unless another source is stated.
The source or production method of microbial culture can vary, so it is not always vegan.
The exact processing ingredient and its source are not listed.
Food enzymes can be microbial, plant-derived, or animal-derived unless their source is stated.
We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.
Natural flavours can come from plant or animal sources.

Allergens, trace warnings & additives
Allergen names found in the ingredient text
WheatMilk
Detected from the recipe text, not a complete allergen declaration or an allergy-safety assessment.
Declared allergens in the record
No allergen information is recorded. This is not an allergen-free claim.
Precautionary “may contain” information
No trace statement is recorded. Absence of data does not mean absence of cross-contact.
Trace warnings are kept separate from recipe ingredients. Do not use this page to decide whether food is safe for an allergy.
Additives listed
No additives are listed in the available record. This is not an additive-free certification.
Nutrition & processing, separately explained
- Source Nutri-Score
- Not available
- Source NOVA group
- Not available
- Veganory indicator
- Not rated
- Indicator inputs
- Insufficient data
Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

How our indicator is calculated
When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product
Is this answer valid for every Hannaford Bros. Co. product?
No. This page covers Hannaford Bros. Co. FOUR CHEESE MAC & CHEESE COOKED CAVATAPPI PASTA, CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE, SHREDDED MOZZARELLA CHEESE, MONTEREY JACK AND CHEDDAR CHEESE BLEND AND SHREDDED MILD CHEDDAR CHEESE, FOUR CHEESE, barcode 041268215195. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.
What still needs to be confirmed?
The source of pasta, niacin, riboflavin, sauce, vitamin d3, microbial culture, unspecified processing aid, enzymes, apo-carotenal, natural flavours needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.
Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?
No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.
What if my label is different?
