Vegetarian Chorizo Picante

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Polar Vegetarian Chorizo Picante scores 42/100 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.

Polar Vegetarian Chorizo Picante lists 13 ingredients, starting with Water, Textured Vegetable Protein, Soybean Oil, Spices and Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 42/100 Polar Vegetarian Chorizo Picante lands mid-scale — below the typical score in meat alternatives, but clear of the bottom band.
