Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Spicy Sausage Crumbles scores 30/100 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.

Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Spicy Sausage Crumbles lists 22 ingredients, starting with Water, Textured Pea Protein, Textured Wheat Protein, Wheat Gluten and Wheat Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 30/100 Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Spicy Sausage Crumbles scores worse than most meat alternatives we have scored. A higher-scoring option in meat alternatives is Bob's Red Mill Textured Vegetable Protein at 97/100.
