Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Tofurky Plant-Based Hickory Smoked Deli Slices scores 43/100 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.

Tofurky Plant-Based Hickory Smoked Deli Slices lists 25 ingredients, starting with Water, Vital Wheat Gluten, Tofu, Soybeans and Magnesium Chloride. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
