Risotto Simple

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Trader Joe's Risotto Simple 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. 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 Risotto Simple lists 13 ingredients, starting with Water, Hard Grating Cheese, Rice Flour, Sunflower Oil and Cultured Butter. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 34/100 Trader Joe's Risotto Simple scores worse than most rice & grains we have scored. A higher-scoring option in rice & grains is Simple Truth Organic Long Grain White Rice at 100/100.
