Original Margarine

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Becel Original Margarine scores 0/100 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. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 0g protein and 0g sugar. 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 12 ingredients, starting with Canola Oil, Water, Modified Palm and Palm Kernel Oils, Buttermilk Powder and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

70 kcal per serving, or 700 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Becel Original Margarine on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 0/100 Becel Original Margarine scores worse than most dairy-alternative butter & cream we have scored. A higher-scoring option in dairy-alternative butter & cream is Forager Project Organic Cinnamon Vanilla Creamer at 100/100.
