Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks scores 25/100 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 Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks lists 12 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Water, Garlic, Yeast and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 25/100 Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks scores worse than most crackers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in crackers is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic Super Seed Everything Crackers at 100/100.
