Kraft Dinner Original Macaroni & Cheese, 225g Box, 4 Count {Imported from Canada}

Will definitely buy again

I read somewhere that Canadian Kraft Mac and cheese tastes different because they don’t allow certain ingredients (chemicals) in their foods that they U.S. does. Canadians swear it tastes different. Well, it does! It has more flavor and doesn’t have that sickly sweet taste the American version has. The cheese packet also doesn’t clump horribly like the American version does. I couldn’t tell you why either. I was skeptical until I tried it. Now, even though it’s a tad more expensive than buying it here in the States, I’ll be buying it from Canada from now on.

I bought this after reading reviews that Canadian Kraft Dinner tastes better than the US version and also that it is supposed to be more like US Kraft macaroni and cheese from decades ago. So, I was excited to try it because the US Kraft has progressively gotten more bland and skimpy over the years. Can't say I am a fan of this. It has a very strange woody smell after you mix in the powder, and it leaves an undesirable aftertaste. My boxes aren't expired, either. The taste while eating it is fine, but maybe slightly more bland than expected. It does not taste like 90's Kraft though. The woody odor from the powder mix is off-putting though, and probably the main reason I wouldn't buy it again.

Arrived fast and in decent condition, with three weeks to use all four boxes before the "expiration date". Made it with fresh butter and milk, and for some reason it still tasted slightly sour. Not a huge fan, purchased because of less ingredients than the domestic US kind. I'm not sold on it. Kraft could probably increase the lifespan by bagging the pasta instead of just using the box, after all, mac and cheese makes a decent pantry staple for when times get tough, a good item for emergencies, but not with such a short shelf life.

Wow, can we bring this back to the US too? This is the Mac & Cheese I remember from the 80's and 90's! Worth paying a little more to get the good stuff!

It has a sweetness to it that my wife and I don't like. I will stick to the US Kraft Mac and cheese.

I'm not sure if I'm crazy or not, but tasting the pastas on their own, there's a different taste. I don't know how to describe said taste, but it just tastes different. I was also impressed with how much this filled me up. Stateside Kraft Mac and Cheese does fill me up (whenever I eat the whole box), but this box filled me up more than the our Mac and Cheese, I love it.

As an American who grew up on Mac n' Cheese, it was interesting to taste the difference. It definitely has a sharper cheddar with slightly stronger spices. However, it is important to note that the ingredients are basically identical to the American version, just different amounts of them. It was a good experience to try.
