Kool-Aid Jammers

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Kool-Aid Jammers 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.

Kool-Aid Jammers lists 9 ingredients, starting with Filtered Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin c) and Natural and Artificial Flavor. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Kool-Aid Jammers scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is Slate Milk Vanilla Ultra Protein Shake at 70/100.
