Common questions
Is Heineken healthy?
Heineken scores 100/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.
What is in Heineken?
Heineken lists 2 ingredients, starting with Water and Malted Barley. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Heineken contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Heineken’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is Heineken?
We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Heineken yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.
How does Heineken compare to other alcoholic beverages?
At 100/100 Heineken sits in our top band, among the better alcoholic beverages we have scored.
Is Heineken organic?
Heineken is not certified organic in our data.
Has Heineken been lab tested?
Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Heineken, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
