Selecta Fortified Milk carton

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Selecta Fortified Milk carton 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.

Selecta Fortified Milk carton lists 16 ingredients, starting with Reconstituted Milk Powder, Coconut Oil, Corn Oil, Refined Sugar and Carrageenan. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Selecta Fortified Milk carton scores worse than most milk we have scored. A higher-scoring option in milk is Organic Valley Grassmilk Organic Whole Milk Ultra Pasteurized at 97/100.
