Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Ben & Jerry's Brookies mini cup scores 22/100 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.

Ben & Jerry's Brookies mini cup lists 20 ingredients, starting with Cream, Water, Sugar, Condensed Skim Milk and Wheat Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 22/100 Ben & Jerry's Brookies mini cup scores worse than most ice cream & frozen desserts we have scored. A higher-scoring option in ice cream & frozen desserts is Straus Family Creamery Organic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream at 100/100.
