Barbecue

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Hero Barbecue scores 69/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Hero Barbecue lists 4 ingredients, starting with Corn Grits, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Bbq Flavor and Vitamin B12. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 69/100 Hero Barbecue lands mid-scale — below the typical score in snacks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in snacks is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic SuperSeed Seaweed & Black Sesame Crackers at 100/100.
