Original Natural Herb Cough Drops

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Ricola Original Natural Herb Cough Drops scores 5/100 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.

Ricola Original Natural Herb Cough Drops lists 16 ingredients, starting with Menthol 4.8 Mg, Inactive Ingredients Color Caramel, Extract of a Ricola Herb Mixture, Elder and Horehound. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Ricola Original Natural Herb Cough Drops scores worse than most hard candy & lollipops we have scored. A higher-scoring option in hard candy & lollipops is Fox's Fruit at 90/100.
