Safeway Mustard pretzels

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Signature Select Safeway Mustard pretzels 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.

Signature Select Safeway Mustard pretzels lists 30 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate and Riboflavin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Signature Select Safeway Mustard pretzels scores worse than most crackers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in crackers is Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares Original at 100/100.
