Mints

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Compass Mints 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. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 0g 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.

Compass Mints lists 8 ingredients, starting with Aceite Esencial de Menta, Edulcorantes, Sorbitol, Xylitol and Sucralosa. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

17 kcal per serving, or 244 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Compass Mints on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 34/100 Compass Mints scores worse than most gum & mints we have scored. A higher-scoring option in gum & mints is Polo Spearmint Mints, 3 x 34 g at 60/100.
