Quaker Microwaveable Oats scores 79/100 on Tallow — our clean 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 3g fiber, 3g protein and 6g 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.

Quaker Microwaveable Oats lists 4 ingredients, starting with Quaker Wholegrain Rolled Oats, Sugar, Natural Flavourings and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

139 kcal per serving, or 386 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Quaker Microwaveable Oats on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
