Original Cooking Spray

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

PAM Original Cooking Spray scores 6/100 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.

PAM Original Cooking Spray lists 8 ingredients, starting with Canola Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Caprylic Triglyceride, Natural and Artificial Flavor and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 6/100 PAM Original Cooking Spray scores worse than most oils & vinegars we have scored. A higher-scoring option in oils & vinegars is Blueprint Extra Virgin Olive Oil at 100/100.
