Pumpkin Empanada

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

La Banderita Pumpkin Empanada scores 10/100 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.

La Banderita Pumpkin Empanada lists 26 ingredients, starting with Unbleached Enriched Flour, Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron and Thiamine Mononitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 La Banderita Pumpkin Empanada scores worse than most snacks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in snacks is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic SuperSeed Seaweed & Black Sesame Crackers at 100/100.
