Vegetable Chow Mein

Breakdown

Processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Ajinomoto Vegetable Chow Mein scores 10/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Ajinomoto Vegetable Chow Mein lists 18 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Cabbage, Soy Sauce, Soybeans and Wheat. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 Ajinomoto Vegetable Chow Mein scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amylu Organic Chicken Meatballs at 97/100.
