Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips scores 66/100 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.

Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips lists 6 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Chocolate Liquor, Milk Fat, Cocoa Butter and Soy Lecithin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 66/100 Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips lands mid-scale — below the typical score in chocolate, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in chocolate is Hu Organic Hazelnut Butter + Hazelnut Crunch Milk Chocolate at 100/100.
