Classic Plain Bagels

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Hero Bread Classic Plain Bagels scores 64/100 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 Bread Classic Plain Bagels lists 16 ingredients, starting with Water, Resistant Wheat Starch, Wheat Protein, Fava Bean Protein and Jerusalem Artichoke Fiber. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 64/100 Hero Bread Classic Plain Bagels lands mid-scale — below the typical score in bagels & english muffins, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Dave's Killer Bread Plain Awesome Organic Bagels, Pre-Sliced, 5 ct, 16.75 oz at 87/100.
