Extra creamy whipped topping

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Essential Everyday Extra creamy whipped topping 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 Extra creamy whipped topping lists 14 ingredients, starting with Skim Milk, Coconut Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, High Fructose Corn Syrup and Water. 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 Extra creamy whipped topping scores worse than most butter & cream we have scored. A higher-scoring option in butter & cream is Simple Truth Organic Half & Half Milk & Cream at 100/100.
