Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Trader Joe's Linguine Nerano Creamy Pasta scores 34/100 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. Per serving it carries 3g fiber, 14g protein and 5g 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 Linguine Nerano Creamy Pasta lists 18 ingredients, starting with Re-cooked Linguine Pasta, Water, Macaroni Product, Durum Wheat Semolina and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
