Kraft has announced the launch of its 'Everything Bagel Mac & Cheese,' a limited-edition flavor available exclusively through Walmart's website. Pre-sales will begin on Monday, November 25, with official sales starting Friday, November 29. With only 14,000 boxes available, the product is expected to generate high demand among consumers.
The Everything Bagel Mac & Cheese combines "Kraft’s signature cheese sauce with the familiar flavors of onion, garlic, and sesame commonly found in everything bagel seasoning." This new flavor aims to provide a convenient option for those seeking a blend of savory and cheesy elements in a single dish.
This release is part of Kraft’s broader flavor expansion initiative, which is informed by consumer feedback, including its "'an Flavorites' program. As such, the Everything Bagel flavor was selected based on its popularity among submissions and aligns with Kraft’s efforts to introduce bold and unique products to the market.
