Common questions

Is ARMOUR Manteca healthy?

ARMOUR Manteca scores 16/100 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.

What is in ARMOUR Manteca?

ARMOUR Manteca lists 3 ingredients, starting with Bha, Manteca and Manteca Hidrogenada. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does ARMOUR Manteca contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in ARMOUR Manteca’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is ARMOUR Manteca?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for ARMOUR Manteca yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does ARMOUR Manteca compare to other oils & vinegars?

Is ARMOUR Manteca organic?
