McVitie's White Digestives

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

McVitie's White Digestives scores 38/100 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.

McVitie's White Digestives lists 8 ingredients, starting with Flour, White Chocolate, Palm Oil, Wholemeal Wheat Flour and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 38/100 McVitie's White Digestives scores worse than most cookies we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cookies is Simple Mills Mini Cookies Almond Flour Chocolate Chip at 91/100.
