Kroger Squeezable strawberry spread

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Kroger Squeezable strawberry spread 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.

Kroger Squeezable strawberry spread lists 8 ingredients, starting with Strawberries, Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar and Fruit Pectin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Kroger Squeezable strawberry spread scores worse than most syrups & spreads we have scored. A higher-scoring option in syrups & spreads is Spring Tree 100% Pure Rich Taste Maple Syrup at 100/100.
