Nacho Cheese & Bean Snacks

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Amy's Nacho Cheese & Bean Snacks scores 37/100 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. Per serving it carries 2g fiber, 11g protein and 2g sugar. 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.

Amy's Nacho Cheese & Bean Snacks lists 12 ingredients, starting with Organic Wheat and Whole Wheat Flour, Organic Lowfat Milk, Organic Pinto Beans, Monterey Jack Cheese and Pasteurized Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

230 kcal per serving, or 271 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Amy's Nacho Cheese & Bean Snacks on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 37/100 Amy's Nacho Cheese & Bean Snacks scores worse than most snacks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in snacks is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic SuperSeed Seaweed & Black Sesame Crackers at 100/100.
