Maggi Oriental noodles

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Maggi Oriental noodles 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 Oriental noodles lists 18 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Emulsifier and Thickener. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Maggi Oriental noodles scores worse than most pasta & noodles we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & noodles is Western Family Signature Rigatoni at 99/100.
