Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly Sandwich

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 7 ingredients to avoid

Smucker's Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly Sandwich 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. Per serving it carries 4g fiber, 9g protein and 14g 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.

Smucker's Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly Sandwich lists 32 ingredients, starting with Peanuts, Sugar, Molasses, Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils and Fully Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil and Fully Hydrogenated Soybean Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

300 kcal per serving, or 395 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Smucker's Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly Sandwich on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
