Dempster's Sourdough Bagel

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Dempster's Sourdough Bagel scores 5/100 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.

Dempster's Sourdough Bagel lists 17 ingredients, starting with Enriched Wheat Flour, Water, Yeast, Fermented Wheat Flour and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Dempster's Sourdough Bagel scores worse than most bagels & english muffins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Thomas' Organic Everything Bagels at 100/100.
