Original Crackers

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Cheez-It Original Crackers scores 31/100 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.

Cheez-It Original Crackers lists 18 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Folic Acid and Vegetable Oil (Soybean and Palm Oil With Tbhq For Freshness). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 31/100 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.
