Beef Pasta

Breakdown

10 ingredients to avoid

Hamburger Helper Beef Pasta scores 10/100 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.

Hamburger Helper Beef Pasta lists 27 ingredients, starting with Enriched Pasta, Wheat Flour, Niacin, Ferrous Sulfate and Thiamine Mononitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 Hamburger Helper Beef Pasta scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amy's Organic Medium Chili at 100/100.
