Breaded Mozzarella Sticks

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

FarmRich Breaded Mozzarella Sticks scores 5/100 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 12g protein and 2g sugar. 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.

FarmRich Breaded Mozzarella Sticks lists 30 ingredients, starting with Low Moisture Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese, Pasteurized Part Skim Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt and Enzyme. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

273 kcal per serving, or 318 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores FarmRich Breaded Mozzarella Sticks on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
