Sesame Bagels

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Abe's Bagels Sesame Bagels scores 47/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Abe's Bagels Sesame Bagels lists 19 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Water, Bagel Base, Sugar and Enriched Wheat Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 47/100 Abe's Bagels Sesame Bagels lands mid-scale — below the typical score in bagels & english muffins, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Thomas' Organic Everything Bagels at 100/100.
