Tesco Sweet and Salted Popcorn

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Tesco Sweet and Salted Popcorn scores 41/100 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 Sweet and Salted Popcorn lists 5 ingredients, starting with Maize, Sugar, Rapeseed Oil, Salt and Emulsifier Lecithins. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 41/100 Tesco Sweet and Salted Popcorn lands mid-scale — below the typical score in popcorn, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in popcorn is Lesser Evil Organic Popcorn Himalayan Pink Salt at 100/100.
