Tampico Apple Punch plastic bottle

Breakdown

10 ingredients to avoid

Tampico Apple Punch plastic bottle scores 15/100 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.

Tampico Apple Punch plastic bottle lists 16 ingredients, starting with Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Apple Juice From Concentrate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin c) and Natural and Artificial Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Tampico Apple Punch plastic bottle scores worse than most juices we have scored. A higher-scoring option in juices is R.W. Knudsen Organic Beet Apple Ginger Juice Beverage at 100/100.
