Common questions

Is Kroger White Rice healthy?

Kroger White Rice scores 0/100 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, plus lab results from its product family, Kroger Instant Enriched White Rice. 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.

What is in Kroger White Rice?

Kroger White Rice lists 5 ingredients, starting with Precooked Long Grain Rice Enriched With Niacin, Niacin (Niacinamide), Iron (Ferric Orthophosphate), Thiamine [thiamine Mononitrate] and Folic Acid]. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Kroger White Rice contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Kroger White Rice’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Kroger White Rice?

Kroger White Rice is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
