Quaker White Cheddar Rice Cakes

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Quaker White Cheddar Rice Cakes 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 White Cheddar Rice Cakes lists 20 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Brown Rice, Degerminated Milled Corn, Nonfat Dry Milk, Buttermilk Powder and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

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