Halloween Lollipops

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

SmartSweets Halloween Lollipops scores 54/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

SmartSweets Halloween Lollipops lists 8 ingredients, starting with Isomaltooligosaccharides, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Malic Acid and Spirulina Extract. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 54/100 SmartSweets Halloween Lollipops lands mid-scale — below the typical score in hard candy & lollipops, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in hard candy & lollipops is Fox's Fruit at 90/100.
