Kroger Tartar sauce

Breakdown

7 ingredients to avoid

Kroger Tartar sauce 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 Tartar sauce lists 17 ingredients, starting with Soybean Oil, Water, Cucumbers, Sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Kroger Tartar sauce scores worse than most condiments & sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in condiments & sauces is Trader Joe's Organic Tomato Sauce at 100/100.
