Luxury Fruited Hot Cross Bun

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Specially Selected Luxury Fruited Hot Cross Bun 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 3g fiber, 4g protein and 23g 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.

Specially Selected Luxury Fruited Hot Cross Bun lists 27 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin and Thiamin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

177 kcal per serving, or 257 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Specially Selected Luxury Fruited Hot Cross Bun on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Specially Selected Luxury Fruited Hot Cross Bun scores worse than most pastries & muffins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pastries & muffins is Pearl Milling Company Organic Pancakes at 100/100.
