Common questions

Is Custard Powder healthy?

Custard Powder scores 15/100 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.

What is in Custard Powder?

Custard Powder lists 11 ingredients, starting with Reconstituted Skimmed Milk, Reconstituted Buttermilk, Water, Sugar and Modified Maize Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

How many calories are in Custard Powder?

89 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Custard Powder on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

Does Custard Powder contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Custard Powder’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
