Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 7 ingredients to avoid

Oreo 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. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 0g protein and 1g sugar. 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.

Oreo Cookies lists 18 ingredients, starting with Unbleached Enriched Flour, Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron and Thiamine Mononitrate {vitamin B1}. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

14 kcal per serving, or 471 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Oreo Cookies on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Oreo 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.
