Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Nutter Butter Cookies scores 5/100 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.

Nutter Butter Cookies lists 10 ingredients, starting with Unbleached Enriched Flour, Sugar, Peanut Butter, Canola Oil and Whole Grain Wheat Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Nutter Butter Cookies scores worse than most cookies we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cookies is Simple Mills Mini Cookies Almond Flour Chocolate Chip at 91/100.
