Inventory and pricing at your store will vary.

Final note: While at Target, we also saw the regular, not-fully-organic version of this product. It’s a bit confusing as there is a “Made with Organic Pasta” written at the top of the box.

Only the pasta is organic, the rest of the ingredients like milk, cheese, etc. are not organic.

If you want fully organic and you’re not buying this item from Costco, make sure to look for the box with the “USDA Organic” logo printed on it.
