Annie's Real Aged Cheddar

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Annie's Real Aged Cheddar 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.

Annie's Real Aged Cheddar lists 24 ingredients, starting with Rice Pasta, White Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Dried Cheddar Cheese and Cultured Pasteurized Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 47/100 Annie's Real Aged Cheddar lands mid-scale — below the typical score in pasta & noodles, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in pasta & noodles is Rao's Homemade Spaghetti at 100/100.
