Lite Original Pancake & Waffle Syrup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Pearl Milling Company Lite Original Pancake & Waffle Syrup 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.

Pearl Milling Company Lite Original Pancake & Waffle Syrup lists 5 ingredients, starting with High Fructose Corn Syrup, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Caramel Color, Sorbic Acid and Sodium Hexametaphosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Pearl Milling Company Lite Original Pancake & Waffle Syrup scores worse than most sweeteners we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sweeteners is Rowse Organic Honey at 100/100.
