Happy Little Tree Mints

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Boston America Happy Little Tree Mints 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.

Boston America Happy Little Tree Mints lists 6 ingredients, starting with Dextrose, Maltodextrin, Magnesium Stearate, Natural and Artificial Peppermint Flavor and Fd&c Blue No. 1. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Boston America Happy Little Tree Mints scores worse than most gum & mints we have scored. A higher-scoring option in gum & mints is Neuro Energy & Focus Extra Strength Gum at 86/100.
