Quaker, creamy wheat

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Quaker, creamy wheat scores 37/100 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, creamy wheat lists 7 ingredients, starting with Farina, Organic Wheat Gluten Seces, Reduced Iron, Niacin (Niacinamide) and Thiamin Mononitrate [vitamin B1]. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Quaker, creamy wheat scores worse than most oatmeal & hot cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in oatmeal & hot cereal is Bob's Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats at 100/100.
