Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Leahy Orchards Applesauce scores 33/100 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 0g protein and 19g sugar. 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.

Leahy Orchards Applesauce lists 6 ingredients, starting with Apples, Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Ascorbic Acid and Vitamin c. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

90 kcal per serving, or 80 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Leahy Orchards Applesauce on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 33/100 Leahy Orchards Applesauce 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.
