Tomato cocktail

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Mott's Tomato cocktail scores 15/100 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 Tomato cocktail lists 15 ingredients, starting with Water, Tomato Concentrate, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Monosodium Glutamate and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Mott's Tomato cocktail scores worse than most juices we have scored. A higher-scoring option in juices is R.W. Knudsen Organic Beet Apple Ginger Juice Beverage at 100/100.
