Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Alpro Dessert Vanilla Flavour carton scores 39/100 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.

Alpro Dessert Vanilla Flavour carton lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Sugar, Hulled Soya Beans, Modified Starch and Maltodextrin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 39/100 Alpro Dessert Vanilla Flavour carton scores worse than most other dairy alternatives we have scored. A higher-scoring option in other dairy alternatives is Trader Joe's Organic Coconut Cream at 100/100.
