Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Heinz Cream of Tomato & Basil Soup scores 12/100 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 2g protein and 10g sugar. 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.

Heinz Cream of Tomato & Basil Soup lists 14 ingredients, starting with Tomatoes, Water, Rapeseed Oil, Sugar and Modified Cornflour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

116 kcal per serving, or 58 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Heinz Cream of Tomato & Basil Soup on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
