Banana

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Banana scores 29/100 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.

Banana lists 9 ingredients, starting with Fibre, Amino Acids, Fatty Acids, Phytosterols and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 29/100 Banana scores worse than most fruits & vegetables we have scored. A higher-scoring option in fruits & vegetables is Driscoll's Organic Strawberries at 100/100.
