Chocolate Chip Muffins

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 7 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Muffins 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. 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.

Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Muffins lists 23 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron and Thiamine Mononitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Muffins scores worse than most pastries & muffins we have scored.
