Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 9 ingredients to avoid

Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks 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, 2g protein and 1g 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.

Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks lists 24 ingredients, starting with Corn Meal, Ferrous Sulfate, Niacin, Thiamin Mononitrate and Riboflavin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

160 kcal per serving, or 565 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
