Food Lion Original Syrup

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Food Lion Original Syrup 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.

Food Lion Original Syrup lists 10 ingredients, starting with Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Natural and Artificial Flavors and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Food Lion Original Syrup scores worse than most sweeteners we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sweeteners is Rowse Organic Honey at 100/100.
