Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

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 Strawberry Kiwi Sparkling Energy Drink lists 16 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Green Coffee Bean Extract and Malic Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
