McCormick Imitation Vanilla Flavor

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

McCormick Imitation Vanilla Flavor scores 61/100 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.

McCormick Imitation Vanilla Flavor lists 5 ingredients, starting with Water, Caramel Color, Vanillin, Ethyl Vanillin and Potassium Sorbate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 61/100 McCormick Imitation Vanilla Flavor lands mid-scale — below the typical score in spices & seasonings, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in spices & seasonings is Saltix Baja Mineral Sea Salt Fine Grind at 100/100.
