Pumpkin Loaf

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Loaf scores 0/100 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 Pumpkin Loaf lists 34 ingredients, starting with Loaf, Pumpkin Puree, Unbleached Enriched Flour, Wheat Flour and Niacin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 0/100 Trader Joe's Pumpkin Loaf scores worse than most bakery we have scored. A higher-scoring option in bakery is Trader Joe's Trader Joe's Pain Pauline Whole Wheat Artisan Bread at 100/100.
