Original Pops

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Dum-Dums Original Pops 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.

Dum-Dums Original Pops lists 9 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Malic Acid and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Dum-Dums Original Pops scores worse than most hard candy & lollipops we have scored. A higher-scoring option in hard candy & lollipops is Fox's Fruit at 90/100.
