Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Tofurky Plant Based Chick'n 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. Per serving it carries 2g fiber, 19g protein and 1g sugar. 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.

Tofurky Plant Based Chick'n lists 26 ingredients, starting with Magnesium Cheat Gluten, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Tofu, Corn Starch and Oat Fiber. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

190 kcal per serving, or 253 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Tofurky Plant Based Chick'n on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
