Quaker Caramel Rice Crisps

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Quaker Caramel Rice Crisps scores 15/100 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.

Quaker Caramel Rice Crisps lists 14 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Brown Rice Flour, Sugar, Corn Grits, Corn Maltodextrin and Sweetened Condensed Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Quaker Caramel Rice Crisps scores worse than most crackers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in crackers is Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares Original at 100/100.
