Breakdown

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.

Chinese cruller beignets lists 6 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Eggs, Soybean Oil, Salt and Baking Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 48/100 Chinese cruller beignets lands mid-scale — below the typical score in pastries & muffins, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in pastries & muffins is Pearl Milling Company Organic Pancakes at 100/100.
