Eckrich LI'L SMOKIES

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Eckrich LI'L SMOKIES scores 15/100 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.

Eckrich LI'L SMOKIES lists 15 ingredients, starting with Mechanically Separated Chicken, Pork, Water, Corn Syrup and Modified Food Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Eckrich LI'L SMOKIES scores worse than most deli & cured meats we have scored. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Simply Nature Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs at 100/100.
