Oscar Mayer Cotto Salami

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Oscar Mayer Cotto Salami scores 15/100 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.

Oscar Mayer Cotto Salami lists 18 ingredients, starting with Mechanically Separated Chicken, Beef Hearts, Pork, Water and Corn Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Oscar Mayer Cotto Salami scores worse than most deli & cured meats we have scored. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Simply Nature Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs at 100/100.
