Common questions

Is Sweet Tea healthy?

Sweet Tea 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.

What is in Sweet Tea?

Sweet Tea lists 5 ingredients, starting with Premium Brewed Blend of Black Teas Using Filtered Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Glucose Fructose Syrup, Citric Acid and Natural Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

How many calories are in Sweet Tea?

37 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Sweet Tea on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

Does Sweet Tea contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Sweet Tea’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Sweet Tea?

Sweet Tea is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.

How does Sweet Tea compare to other tea?

At 5/100 Sweet Tea scores worse than most tea we have scored. A higher-scoring option in tea is Kirkland Signature Matcha at 100/100.

Is Sweet Tea organic?
