Pasta & Cheddar

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Annie's Pasta & Cheddar scores 53/100 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 Pasta & Cheddar lists 14 ingredients, starting with Organic Pasta, Organic Wheat Flour, Organic Whole Grain Wheat Flour, 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 53/100 Annie's Pasta & Cheddar lands mid-scale — below the typical score in prepared meals, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amy's Organic Medium Chili at 100/100.
