Common questions

Is Armour Lard healthy?

Armour Lard scores 5/100 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 Lard?

Armour Lard 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 Lard contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Armour Lard’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 Lard?

Armour Lard is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.
