Common questions

Is Tesco Golden Syrup healthy?

Tesco Golden Syrup scores 40/100 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 Tesco Golden Syrup?

Tesco Golden Syrup lists 1 ingredient, starting with Partly Inverted Sugar Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Tesco Golden Syrup contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Tesco Golden Syrup’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 Tesco Golden Syrup?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Tesco Golden Syrup yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.
