Tesco Beef stock cubes

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Tesco Beef stock cubes 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 Beef stock cubes lists 14 ingredients, starting with Salt, Palm Oil, Potato Starch, Sugar and Yeast Extract. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Tesco Beef stock cubes scores worse than most soups & broths we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Pacific Foods Organic Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth, 3 x 32 oz at 98/100.
