Garlic Spread-Dip

Breakdown

Processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Trader Joe's Garlic Spread-Dip scores 40/100 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 Spread-Dip lists 5 ingredients, starting with Canola Oil, Garlic, Lemon Juice, Citric Acid and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 40/100 Trader Joe's Garlic Spread-Dip scores worse than most syrups & spreads we have scored. A higher-scoring option in syrups & spreads is Spring Tree 100% Pure Rich Taste Maple Syrup at 100/100.
