Dr. Praeger's Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Dr. Praeger's Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers scores 41/100 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.

Dr. Praeger's Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers lists 15 ingredients, starting with Cooked Black Beans, Red Bell Peppers, Quinoa, Potato Flakes and Expeller Pressed Canola Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 41/100 Dr. Praeger's Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers lands mid-scale — below the typical score in frozen foods, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in frozen foods is Ore-Ida Original Potato Shreds Shredded Hash Browns at 100/100.
