Tesco Belgian chocolate éclairs

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Tesco Belgian chocolate éclairs scores 45/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Belgian chocolate éclairs lists 6 ingredients, starting with Cream, Pasteurised Egg, Wheat Flour, Sugar and Rapeseed Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 45/100 Tesco Belgian chocolate éclairs lands mid-scale — below the typical score in pastries & muffins, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in pastries & muffins is Pearl Milling Company Organic Pancakes at 100/100.
