Dark Rye Seeded bread

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Pepperidge Farm Dark Rye Seeded bread scores 44/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Pepperidge Farm Dark Rye Seeded bread lists 17 ingredients, starting with Unbleached Enriched Flour, Water, Rye Flour, Yeast and Wheat Gluten. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 44/100 Pepperidge Farm Dark Rye Seeded bread lands mid-scale — below the typical score in bread, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in bread is jovial 100% Organic Einkorn All-Purpose Flour at 100/100.
