Iron

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Kroger Iron scores 59/100 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.

Kroger Iron lists 8 ingredients, starting with Microcrystalline Cellulose, Croscarmellose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Maltodextrin and Silicon Dioxide. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 59/100 Kroger Iron lands mid-scale — below the typical score in minerals, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in minerals is Eidon Ionic Minerals Magnesium Liquid Concentrate at 100/100.
