Allen's Peach Cocktail carton

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Allen's Peach Cocktail carton scores 5/100 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.

Allen's Peach Cocktail carton lists 16 ingredients, starting with Water, Sugar, Glucose-fructose, Concentrated Apple Juice and Concentrated Pear Juice. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Allen's Peach Cocktail carton scores worse than most juices we have scored. A higher-scoring option in juices is Trader Joe's Organic 100% Sicilian Lemon Juice at 100/100.
