Herr's Chocolate Flavored Coated Pretzels

Breakdown

10 ingredients to avoid

Herr's Chocolate Flavored Coated Pretzels scores 15/100 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.

Herr's Chocolate Flavored Coated Pretzels lists 24 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa Powder and Whey Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Herr's Chocolate Flavored Coated Pretzels scores worse than most crackers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in crackers is Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares Original at 100/100.
