Common questions

Is Hormel Chorizo healthy?

Hormel Chorizo scores 98/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

What is in Hormel Chorizo?

Hormel Chorizo lists 9 ingredients, starting with Pork, Paprika, Garlic, Salt and Oregano. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Hormel Chorizo contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Hormel Chorizo’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Hormel Chorizo?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Hormel Chorizo yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Hormel Chorizo compare to other meat & seafood?

At 98/100 Hormel Chorizo sits in our top band, among the better meat & seafood we have scored. A higher-scoring option in meat & seafood is White Oak Pastures Organic Grassfed Ground Beef at 100/100.

Is Hormel Chorizo organic?

Yes. Hormel Chorizo carries USDA Organic certification, which is worth +5 points in the score above.

Has Hormel Chorizo been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Hormel Chorizo, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
