Shirakiku Rice Cake

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Shirakiku Rice Cake 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.

Shirakiku Rice Cake lists 11 ingredients, starting with Maltose, Glutinous Rice, Red Bean Paste, Sugar and Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Shirakiku Rice Cake scores worse than most rice & grains we have scored. A higher-scoring option in rice & grains is Lundberg Family Farms Organic California White Basmati Rice at 55/100.
