Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Idahoan +Protein Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes scores 5/100 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.

Idahoan +Protein Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes lists 13 ingredients, starting with Potatoes, Whey Protein Concentrate, Vegetable Oil, Maltodextrin and Dried Corn Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Idahoan +Protein Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes scores worse than most pantry & staples we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pantry & staples is Bob's Red Mill Instant Mashed Potato Flakes at 100/100.
