President's Choice Blueberry muffins

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

President's Choice Blueberry muffins 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.

President's Choice Blueberry muffins lists 15 ingredients, starting with Enriched Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Water and Pasteurised Liquid Whole Egg (20%). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 President's Choice Blueberry muffins scores worse than most bagels & english muffins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Thomas' Organic Everything Bagels at 100/100.
