Spicy Veggie Burgers

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Deep Spicy Veggie Burgers 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. 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.

Deep Spicy Veggie Burgers lists 29 ingredients, starting with Frozen Mixed Vegetables, Diced Carrots, Diced Potato, Corn and Green Peas. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 18/100 Deep Spicy Veggie Burgers scores worse than most meat alternatives we have scored. A higher-scoring option in meat alternatives is Bob's Red Mill Textured Vegetable Protein at 97/100.
