Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to watch

Trader Joe's Non-Dairy Almond Beverage Original carton scores 74/100 on Tallow — our clean 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 Non-Dairy Almond Beverage Original carton lists 11 ingredients, starting with Filtered Water, Almond, Cane Sugar, Tricalcium Phosphate and Sea Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
