Common questions

Is Equal Exchange Equal healthy?

Equal Exchange Equal scores 19/100 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.

What is in Equal Exchange Equal?

Equal Exchange Equal lists 10 ingredients, starting with Aspartame, Acesulfame Potassium, Dextrose, Maltodextrin and Lactose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

No. Nothing in Equal Exchange Equal’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
