About this ramen

Cheddar Cheese is the cheesy member of Maruchan's Instant Lunch cups, built on a wider noodle to hold the sauce. Dehydrated cheddar and a powdered cream substitute with sodium caseinate give it a creamy, cheesy coating. A little powdered cooked chicken, onion, garlic, parsley and chive round out the seasoning, with paprika and annatto for color. Maruchan pitches it as ooey-gooey comfort in a cup. Its label lists wheat, soy and milk.
