Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening Toothpaste Fluoride Free Spearmint scores 65/100 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.

Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening Toothpaste Fluoride Free Spearmint lists 10 ingredients, starting with Calcium Carbonate, Glycerin, Water, Xylitol and Hydrated Silica. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening Toothpaste Fluoride Free Spearmint lands mid-scale — below the typical score in toothpaste, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Dr. Bronner's Toothpaste Whitening Spearmint 70% Organic at 90/100.
