Becel Original Margarine

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Becel Original Margarine scores 20/100 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.

Becel Original Margarine lists 13 ingredients, starting with Canola Oil, Water, Modified Palm Oil, Modified Palm Kernel Oil and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 20/100 Becel Original Margarine scores worse than most syrups & spreads we have scored. A higher-scoring option in syrups & spreads is Spring Tree 100% Pure Rich Taste Maple Syrup at 100/100.
