Digestive Biscuits

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Sainsbury's Digestive Biscuits scores 30/100 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 3g fiber, 1g protein and 2g 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.

Sainsbury's Digestive Biscuits lists 13 ingredients, starting with Fortified Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Niacin and Iron. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

70 kcal per serving, or 467 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Sainsbury's Digestive Biscuits on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 30/100 Sainsbury's Digestive Biscuits scores worse than most cookies we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cookies is Simple Mills Mini Cookies Almond Flour Chocolate Chip at 91/100.
