Breakdown

Processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Joe's Os scores 45/100 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. Per serving it carries 4g fiber, 5g protein and 2g sugar. 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 Joe's Os lists 16 ingredients, starting with Oat Flour, Corn Starch, Brown Cane Sugar, Trisodium Phosphate and Baking Soda. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

160 kcal per serving, or 390 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Trader Joe's Joe's Os on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 45/100 Trader Joe's Joe's Os lands mid-scale — below the typical score in cereal, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Lovebird Grain Free Honey Breakfast Cereal at 100/100.
