Great Value Original Vanilla

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Great Value Original Vanilla scores 36/100 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.

Great Value Original Vanilla lists 7 ingredients, starting with Water, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil, Sodium Caseinate (a Milk Derivative) and Mono and Diglycerides. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 36/100 Great Value Original Vanilla 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.
