Ben's Original Spicy Mexican Style

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Ben's Original Spicy Mexican Style 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.

Ben's Original Spicy Mexican Style lists 24 ingredients, starting with Water, Parboiled Long Grain Rice, Canola Oil, Tomato Powder and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Ben's Original Spicy Mexican Style scores worse than most rice & grains we have scored. A higher-scoring option in rice & grains is Simple Truth Organic Long Grain White Rice at 100/100.
