Common questions

Is Betty Crocker Cake mix healthy?

Betty Crocker Cake mix scores 34/100 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.

What is in Betty Crocker Cake mix?

Betty Crocker Cake mix lists 20 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Bleached Wheat Flour, Palm Oil, Eggs and Modified Corn Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Betty Crocker Cake mix contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Betty Crocker Cake mix’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Betty Crocker Cake mix?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Betty Crocker Cake mix yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Betty Crocker Cake mix compare to other baking ingredients?

At 34/100 Betty Crocker Cake mix scores worse than most baking ingredients we have scored. A higher-scoring option in baking ingredients is King Arthur Baking Company Organic Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 5 lb at 100/100.

Is Betty Crocker Cake mix organic?

Betty Crocker Cake mix is not certified organic in our data.

Has Betty Crocker Cake mix been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Betty Crocker Cake mix, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
