Starburst Watermelon Gelatin

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 8 ingredients to avoid

Starburst Watermelon Gelatin 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.

Starburst Watermelon Gelatin lists 12 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Gelatin, Maltodextrin, Fumaric Acid and Sodium Citrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Starburst Watermelon Gelatin scores worse than most baking ingredients we have scored. A higher-scoring option in baking ingredients is King Arthur Baking Company Organic Unbleached All-Purpose Flour at 100/100.
