Original Vanilla Blend

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Mina Original Vanilla Blend scores 7/100 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.

Mina Original Vanilla Blend lists 7 ingredients, starting with Ethyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Vanillin, Pure Vanilla Extract and Caramel Color. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 7/100 Mina Original Vanilla Blend scores worse than most baking ingredients we have scored. A higher-scoring option in baking ingredients is King Arthur Baking Company Organic Unbleached All-Purpose Flour at 100/100.
