Applesauce

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Mott's Applesauce scores 37/100 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.

Mott's Applesauce lists 6 ingredients, starting with Apples, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin c) and Cinnamon. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Mott's Applesauce scores worse than most fruits & vegetables we have scored. A higher-scoring option in fruits & vegetables is Good & Gather Garden Salad Blend Iceberg Lettuce, Carrot & Red Cabbage at 100/100.
