MAC is a prestige brand of makeup sold in some department stores, their own stores, and online. MAC does not make gluten free makeup, per se, but they do pay enough attention to their products to be able to say which of their products has glutinous ingredients and which don’t. They do acknowledge that even products that don’t contain glutinous ingredients can come in contact with gluten, so gluten free is not guaranteed because of shared equipment.
Apr 16, 2021 Great Value Gluten-Free Mac and Cheese. If you plan to shop at Walmart specifically, look for gluten-free Great Value Mac and Cheese! This certified gluten-free brand is sold exclusively at Walmart and will be labeled clearly. Walmart has a few varieties of gluten-free mac and cheese; however, the selection will vary by location. Mac’s, we want to support our customers' love for Mac & Cheese whether they are gluten- and wheat-sensitive or not. That's why we offer 95% of all our entrees Gluten-Free! In general, gluten-free pasta is fairly similar to wheat-containing pasta in texture, especially when hot, and is interchangeable with wheat pasta in almost all recipes.

It’s up to you whether you’re willing to use a product that is made on shared equipment, but before you purchase MAC’s makeup, make sure to contact them and ask whether what you’d like to use has glutinous ingredients. I have not yet tried their products, so if you try any, let me know!
Gluten Free Info
After a lot of testing and experimentation, we have modified some of our core ingredients in order to allow you to order anything from our menu, gluten-free. We are able to do this because now our bechamel does not contain any wheat flour, and our breadcrumbs are made from gluten-free cornflakes, and not actual bread. For gluten-free orders we use Brown Rice elbow macaroni.
Please be advised that this restaurant contains the following gluten containing items and there is always a chance, however remote, of cross-contamination during normal kitchen operations involving shared cooking and preparation areas.
Regular Elbow Macaroni
Multi-Grain Elbow Macaroni
Cookies
Brownies
