Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper Hummus scores 37/100 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 Roasted Red Pepper Hummus lists 14 ingredients, starting with Chickpeas, Water, Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Sunflower Oil and Tahini. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper Hummus scores worse than most salad dressings we have scored. A higher-scoring option in salad dressings is Bragg Organic Vinaigrette Dressing & Marinade, 12 fl oz at 92/100.
