Bovril Beef Extract

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Bovril Beef Extract scores 24/100 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.

Bovril Beef Extract lists 11 ingredients, starting with Beef Broth, Yeast Extract, Salt, Water and Colourant (Ammonia-sulphite Caramel). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 24/100 Bovril Beef Extract scores worse than most soups & broths we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Pacific Foods Organic Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth, 3 x 32 oz at 98/100.
