Ramen Noodle Soup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 20 ingredients to avoid

Maruchan 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 2g fiber, 8g protein and 2g 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 Ramen Noodle Soup lists 44 ingredients, starting with Noodles, Enriched Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Niacin and Reduced Iron. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

370 kcal per serving, or 435 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amylu Organic Chicken Meatballs at 97/100.
