Cocoa Classic Instant Premium Hot Cocoa

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Land O'Lakes Cocoa Classic Instant Premium Hot Cocoa scores 5/100 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.

Land O'Lakes Cocoa Classic Instant Premium Hot Cocoa lists 15 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Nonfat Dry Milk, Whey, Corn Syrup Solids and Dutch-processed Cocoa. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Land O'Lakes Cocoa Classic Instant Premium Hot Cocoa scores worse than most butter & cream we have scored. A higher-scoring option in butter & cream is Simple Truth Organic Half & Half Milk & Cream at 100/100.
