Breakdown

Processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts scores 33/100 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 Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts lists 22 ingredients, starting with Brussels Sprouts, Water, Sugar, Salt and Sweet Potato Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 33/100 Trader Joe's Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts scores worse than most frozen meals we have scored. A higher-scoring option in frozen meals is Trader Joe's Vegetable Stir Fry at 100/100.
