Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 8 ingredients to avoid

Maruchan Instant Lunch Beef Ramen Noodle Soup 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 4g protein and 1g sugar. 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 Instant Lunch Beef Ramen Noodle Soup lists 22 ingredients, starting with Salt, Sugar, 1% Of, Maltodextrin and Monosodium Glutamate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
