Maggi bechamel mix

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Maggi bechamel mix scores 15/100 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.

Maggi bechamel mix lists 8 ingredients, starting with Modified Starch, Maltodextrin, Vegetable Oils, Wheat Flour and Iodized Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Maggi bechamel mix scores worse than most baking ingredients we have scored. A higher-scoring option in baking ingredients is King Arthur Baking Company Organic Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 5 lb at 100/100.
