1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Hy-Vee 1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk scores 58/100 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.

Hy-Vee 1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk lists 9 ingredients, starting with Lowfat Milk, Vitamin D3, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Corn Starch and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 58/100 Hy-Vee 1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk lands mid-scale — below the typical score in milk, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in milk is Milbona Milbona Lait écrémé at 100/100.
