Ultra-Pasteurized Egg Nog

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Darigold Ultra-Pasteurized Egg Nog scores 18/100 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 4g protein and 18g 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.

Darigold Ultra-Pasteurized Egg Nog lists 13 ingredients, starting with Milk and Cream, Water, Corn Syrup, Sugar and Whey. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

170 kcal per serving, or 142 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Darigold Ultra-Pasteurized Egg Nog on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 18/100 Darigold Ultra-Pasteurized Egg Nog scores worse than most milk we have scored. A higher-scoring option in milk is Co-op Irresistible Cornish Creamery Unhomogenised Whole Milk at 100/100.
