Cottage Pie Classic

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Tesco Cottage Pie Classic 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.

Tesco Cottage Pie Classic lists 37 ingredients, starting with Mashed Potato, Potato, Water, Whole Milk and Half Cream. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Tesco Cottage Pie Classic scores worse than most prepared meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in prepared meals is Amylu Organic Chicken Meatballs at 97/100.
