Common questions

Is Bridgford Pepperoni healthy?

Bridgford Pepperoni 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.

Bridgford Pepperoni lists 12 ingredients, starting with Pork, Beef, Salt, Water and Paprika. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
