Ensure pre-surgery

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Ensure pre-surgery 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.

Ensure pre-surgery lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Corn Maltodextrin, Fructose, Natural Flavor and Sodium Citrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Ensure pre-surgery scores worse than most beverages we have scored. A higher-scoring option in beverages is Zico Pure Organic Coconut Water at 100/100.
