Cinnamon Applesauce

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Mott's Cinnamon Applesauce scores 27/100 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 Cinnamon 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 27/100 Mott's Cinnamon Applesauce scores worse than most canned goods we have scored. A higher-scoring option in canned goods is Trader Joe's Organic Garbanzo Beans Made with Sea Salt at 98/100.
