Frosted Churro

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Pop-Tarts Frosted Churro scores 14/100 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. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 4g protein and 30g sugar. 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.

Pop-Tarts Frosted Churro lists 17 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Sugars, Sugar, Glucose-fructose and Icing Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

400 kcal per serving, or 417 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Pop-Tarts Frosted Churro on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 14/100 Pop-Tarts Frosted Churro scores worse than most snacks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in snacks is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic SuperSeed Seaweed & Black Sesame Crackers at 100/100.
