Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Rustic Bakery Cocoa Nib Shortbread scores 33/100 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. Per serving it carries 2g fiber, 2g protein and 8g sugar. 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.

Rustic Bakery Cocoa Nib Shortbread lists 15 ingredients, starting with Unbleached Enriched Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron and Thiamine Mononitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

170 kcal per serving, or 500 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Rustic Bakery Cocoa Nib Shortbread on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
