Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Per serving it carries 3g protein. 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.

153 kcal per serving, or 372 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Quaker Instant Oatmeal Variety Pack on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
