Pringles

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Pringles scores 30/100 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.

Pringles lists 12 ingredients, starting with Dried Potatoes, Corn Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Canola Oil and High Oleic Soybean Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 30/100 Pringles scores worse than most chips & crisps we have scored. A higher-scoring option in chips & crisps is VANDY Classic Potato Chips at 95/100.
