Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 10 ingredients to avoid

Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Perfectly Moist Cake Mix scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band.

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.

Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Perfectly Moist Cake Mix lists 26 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Niacin and Reduced Iron. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

180 kcal per serving, or 419 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Perfectly Moist Cake Mix on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
