Fruit punch

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Hawaiian Punch Fruit punch scores 5/100 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.

Hawaiian Punch Fruit punch lists 13 ingredients, starting with Filtered Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Apple Juice From Concentrate, Pineapple Juice From Concentrate and Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Hawaiian Punch Fruit punch scores worse than most juices we have scored. A higher-scoring option in juices is Trader Joe's Organic 100% Sicilian Lemon Juice at 100/100.
