Candy Bar

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Butterfinger Candy Bar 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 5g protein and 21g sugar. 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.

Butterfinger Candy Bar lists 13 ingredients, starting with Corn Syrup, Sugar, Peanuts, Vegetable Oil and Palm Kernel and Palm Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

250 kcal per serving, or 465 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Butterfinger Candy Bar on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Butterfinger Candy Bar scores worse than most chocolate we have scored. A higher-scoring option in chocolate is Hu Organic Hazelnut Butter + Hazelnut Crunch Milk Chocolate at 100/100.
