Pure Vanilla Extract

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract scores 42/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract lists 4 ingredients, starting with Water, Alcohol, Vanilla Bean Extractives and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 42/100 Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract lands mid-scale — below the typical score in baking ingredients, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in baking ingredients is King Arthur Baking Company Organic Unbleached All-Purpose Flour at 100/100.
