Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

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.

Great Value Chocolate Flavored Syrup lists 15 ingredients, starting with Water, Cocoa, Sorbitol, Caramel Color (Less Than 2%) and Phosphoric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Great Value Chocolate Flavored Syrup scores worse than most sweeteners we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sweeteners is Rowse Organic Honey at 100/100.
