Vienna sausage

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Libby's Vienna sausage scores 53/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 0g fiber, 10g protein and 0g 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.

Libby's Vienna sausage lists 12 ingredients, starting with Chicken, Chicken Broth, Water, Beef and Pork. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

160 kcal per serving, or 123 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Libby's Vienna sausage on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 53/100 Libby's Vienna sausage lands mid-scale — below the typical score in snacks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in snacks is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic SuperSeed Seaweed & Black Sesame Crackers at 100/100.
