Organic Peppermint Mints

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Organic Peppermint Mints scores 66/100 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 Organic Peppermint Mints lists 8 ingredients, starting with Organic Cane Sugar, Water, Organic Tapioca Syrup, Natural Flavorings and Organic Maple Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 66/100 Trader Joe's Organic Peppermint Mints lands mid-scale — below the typical score in gum & mints, but clear of the bottom band.
