Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Madeleine Cookies scores 41/100 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 0g fiber, 2g protein and 11g 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 Madeleine Cookies lists 16 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Unbleached Enriched Flour, Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour and Niacin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

150 kcal per serving, or 441 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Trader Joe's Madeleine Cookies on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 41/100 Trader Joe's Madeleine Cookies lands mid-scale — below the typical score in pastries & muffins, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in pastries & muffins is Pearl Milling Company Organic Pancakes at 100/100.
