Marks & Spencer Sesame Bagels

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Marks & Spencer Sesame Bagels scores 54/100 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. 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.

Marks & Spencer Sesame Bagels lists 20 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron and Thiamine Mononitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 54/100 Marks & Spencer Sesame Bagels lands mid-scale — below the typical score in bagels & english muffins, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Dave's Killer Bread Plain Awesome Organic Bagels, Pre-Sliced, 5 ct, 16.75 oz at 87/100.
