Plant-Based Italian Sausage

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Tofurky Plant-Based Italian Sausage scores 58/100 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 Italian Sausage lists 18 ingredients, starting with Water, Vital Wheat Gluten, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Tofu and Soybeans. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 58/100 Tofurky Plant-Based Italian Sausage lands mid-scale — below the typical score in meat alternatives, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in meat alternatives is Bob's Red Mill Textured Vegetable Protein at 97/100.
