Common questions

Is Hormel PEPPERONI healthy?

Hormel PEPPERONI scores 31/100 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.

What is in Hormel PEPPERONI?

Hormel PEPPERONI lists 12 ingredients, starting with Pork, Contain Less Than 2% of Water, Dextrose, Spices and Lactic Acid Starter Culture. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Hormel PEPPERONI contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Hormel PEPPERONI’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 PEPPERONI?
