cherry pie

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Marie Callender's cherry pie scores 32/100 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.

Marie Callender's cherry pie lists 11 ingredients, starting with Cherries, Unbleached Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Shortening and Unsalted Butter. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 32/100 Marie Callender's cherry pie scores worse than most pastries & muffins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pastries & muffins is Pearl Milling Company Organic Pancakes at 100/100.
