Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Daiya Aged Cheddar Mac & Cheese Gluten-Free Dairy-Free scores 54/100 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.

Daiya Aged Cheddar Mac & Cheese Gluten-Free Dairy-Free lists 15 ingredients, starting with White Rice, Brown Rice, Corn, Potato and Sea Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
