Ritas Lime-A-Rita

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Ritas Lime-A-Rita 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.

Ritas Lime-A-Rita lists 10 ingredients, starting with Water, Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Barley Malt and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Ritas Lime-A-Rita scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is Slate Milk Vanilla Ultra Protein Shake at 70/100.
