Light Rye Bread

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Helga's Light Rye Bread scores 20/100 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.

Helga's Light Rye Bread lists 14 ingredients, starting with Fresh-ground Whole Wheat Flour, Water, Organic Stoneground Rye Flour, Canola Oil and Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 20/100 Helga's Light Rye Bread scores worse than most bread we have scored. A higher-scoring option in bread is New Seasons Market New Seasons Organic French Batard Sliced at 97/100.
