Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

New Seasons Market Plain Bagels scores 23/100 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.

New Seasons Market Plain Bagels lists 21 ingredients, starting with Enriched High Gluten Flour, Unbleached Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin and Iron. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 23/100 New Seasons Market Plain Bagels scores worse than most bagels & english muffins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Thomas' Organic Everything Bagels at 100/100.
