Chen Black Refried Beans

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Chen Black Refried Beans scores 34/100 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.

Chen Black Refried Beans lists 5 ingredients, starting with Water, Black Beans, Vegetable Oil (Corn and/Or Canola Oil), Salt and Natural Flavor and Spices. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 34/100 Chen Black Refried Beans scores worse than most canned goods we have scored. A higher-scoring option in canned goods is Trader Joe's Organic Garbanzo Beans Made with Sea Salt at 98/100.
