Starbucks Maple Pecan

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Starbucks Maple Pecan 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. 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.

Starbucks Maple Pecan lists 17 ingredients, starting with Enriched Wheat Flour, Brown Sugar, Buttermilk, Soybean Oil and Eggs. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Starbucks Maple Pecan scores worse than most coffee we have scored. A higher-scoring option in coffee is Purity Coffee FLOW Organic Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee at 100/100.
