Crushed chilli

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Crushed chilli scores 43/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Crushed chilli lists 5 ingredients, starting with Red Chilli, Rapeseed Oil, Sugar, Salt and Paprika Extract (Natural Colour). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 43/100 Crushed chilli lands mid-scale — below the typical score in spices & seasonings, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in spices & seasonings is Saltix Baja Mineral Sea Salt Fine Grind at 100/100.
