Essential Everyday Plain Bagels

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Essential Everyday Plain Bagels 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.

Essential Everyday Plain Bagels lists 19 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron and Thiamine Mononitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Essential Everyday Plain Bagels scores worse than most bagels & english muffins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Dave's Killer Bread Plain Awesome Organic Bagels, Pre-Sliced, 5 ct, 16.75 oz at 87/100.
