Kroger 100% Whole Wheat Bagels

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Kroger 100% Whole Wheat Bagels scores 65/100 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 100% Whole Wheat Bagels lists 15 ingredients, starting with Whole Wheat Flour, Water, Sugar, Vital Wheat Gluten and Wheat Bran. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
