Common questions

Is Maggi healthy?

Maggi scores 39/100 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.

What is in Maggi?

Maggi lists 14 ingredients, starting with Salt, Vegetable Oil Fat (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Oil), Monosodium Glutamate, Wheat Flour and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Maggi contain seed oils?

Yes. Maggi lists Vegetable Oil Fat (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Oil) in its ingredients.

How processed is Maggi?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Maggi yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.
