Trader Joe's Maple Pecan Granola

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Maple Pecan Granola scores 13/100 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 Maple Pecan Granola lists 11 ingredients, starting with Rolled Oats, Cane Sugar, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Rice Flour and Pecans. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 13/100 Trader Joe's Maple Pecan Granola scores worse than most granola & muesli we have scored. A higher-scoring option in granola & muesli is purely elizabeth. Organic Grain-Free Vanilla Almond Butter Granola at 100/100.
