100% Lemon Juice

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Realemon 100% Lemon Juice scores 57/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Realemon 100% Lemon Juice lists 7 ingredients, starting with Lemon Juice From Concentrate, Water, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Sodium Benzoate and Sodium Metabisulfite. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

0 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Realemon 100% Lemon Juice on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 57/100 Realemon 100% Lemon Juice lands mid-scale — below the typical score in juices, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in juices is Trader Joe's Organic 100% Sicilian Lemon Juice at 100/100.
