Original Crackers

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Cheez-It Original Crackers 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, 3g protein and 0g 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.

Cheez-It Original Crackers lists 22 ingredients, starting with Enriched Flour, Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron and Vitamin B1. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

150 kcal per serving, or 500 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Cheez-It Original Crackers on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Cheez-It Original Crackers scores worse than most crackers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in crackers is Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares Original at 100/100.
