Common questions

Is Modelo healthy?

Modelo scores 97/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

What is in Modelo?

Modelo lists 4 ingredients, starting with Water, Barley Malt, Non-malted Cereals and Hops. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Modelo contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Modelo’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Modelo?

Modelo is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
