Northbrook Italian flavoured textured soy protein

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Northbrook Italian flavoured textured soy protein scores 46/100 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.

Northbrook Italian flavoured textured soy protein lists 2 ingredients, starting with Textured Soy Protein Concentrate and Canola Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 46/100 Northbrook Italian flavoured textured soy protein lands mid-scale — below the typical score in meat alternatives, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in meat alternatives is Bob's Red Mill Textured Vegetable Protein at 97/100.
