Knorr Mexican Rice

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Knorr Mexican Rice scores 15/100 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.

Knorr Mexican Rice lists 25 ingredients, starting with Parboiled Long Grain Rice, Vermicelli, Maltodextrin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein and Onion Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Knorr Mexican Rice scores worse than most rice & grains we have scored. A higher-scoring option in rice & grains is Lundberg Family Farms Organic California White Basmati Rice at 55/100.
