Sésame

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Emile Noël Sésame scores 51/100 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.

Emile Noël Sésame lists 5 ingredients, starting with Sucre de Canne Roux, Huile de Tournesol Désodorisée, Sésame Dépelliculé, Farine de Sésame Toasté Déshuilée and Farine de Sésame Déshuilée. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 51/100 Emile Noël Sésame lands mid-scale — below the typical score in oils & vinegars, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in oils & vinegars is Terra Delyssa Organic First Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil at 100/100.
