Crackers

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Ritz Crackers 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.

Ritz Crackers lists 11 ingredients, starting with Whole Wheat Flour, Enriched Wheat Flour, Sugar, Soybean Oil and Palm Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Ritz Crackers scores worse than most crackers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in crackers is Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares Original at 100/100.
