Trader Joe's Organic Buttery Plant-Based Spread

Breakdown

Not fully ranked yet

Trader Joe's Organic Buttery Plant-Based Spread scores 50/100 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 Buttery Plant-Based Spread lists 6 ingredients, starting with Water, Sea Salt, Sunflower Lecithin Powder Non-gmo, Organic Natural Flavor and Mixed Tocopherols. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 50/100 Trader Joe's Organic Buttery Plant-Based Spread lands mid-scale — below the typical score in syrups & spreads, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in syrups & spreads is Spring Tree 100% Pure Rich Taste Maple Syrup at 100/100.
