Common questions

Is Boar's Head Turkey healthy?

Boar's Head Turkey scores 51/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Boar's Head Turkey?

Boar's Head Turkey lists 13 ingredients, starting with Turkey Breast, Water, Salt, Sugar and Sodium Phosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Boar's Head Turkey contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Boar's Head Turkey’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 Boar's Head Turkey?

Boar's Head Turkey is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.
