Beef flavored ramen noodles

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 11 ingredients to avoid

Maruchan Beef flavored ramen noodles scores 5/100 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.

Maruchan Beef flavored ramen noodles lists 26 ingredients, starting with Enriched Wheat Flour, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Dehydrated Vegetables and Textured Soy Protein. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Maruchan Beef flavored ramen noodles scores worse than most pasta & noodles we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & noodles is Rao's Homemade Spaghetti at 100/100.
