Maple Pecan Clusters Cereal

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Maple Pecan Clusters Cereal scores 57/100 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. 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 Maple Pecan Clusters Cereal lists 16 ingredients, starting with Rolled Oats, Cane Sugar, Corn Flour, Rice Flour and Expeller Pressed Canola Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 57/100 Trader Joe's Maple Pecan Clusters Cereal lands mid-scale — below the typical score in cereal, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Kavanagh's Organic Jumbo Porridge Oats at 100/100.
