Plain Bagels

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Stater Bros. Plain Bagels scores 27/100 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.

Stater Bros. Plain Bagels lists 20 ingredients, starting with Unbleached Enriched Flour, Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin and Reduced Iron. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 27/100 Stater Bros. Plain Bagels scores worse than most bagels & english muffins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in bagels & english muffins is Thomas' Organic Everything Bagels at 100/100.
