Sunkist Citrons

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Sunkist Citrons scores 20/100 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.

Sunkist Citrons lists 10 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate and Natural Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 20/100 Sunkist Citrons scores worse than most fruits & vegetables we have scored. A higher-scoring option in fruits & vegetables is Good & Gather Garden Salad Blend Iceberg Lettuce, Carrot & Red Cabbage at 100/100.
