Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 9 ingredients to avoid

Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Salted Caramel Chocolate Bar scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band.

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.
