Trader Joe's Spring Gummies

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Spring Gummies scores 5/100 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 Spring Gummies lists 14 ingredients, starting with Cane Sugar, Invert Sugar Syrup, Tapioca Syrup, Modified Corn Starch and Dextrose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Trader Joe's Spring Gummies scores worse than most gummies & chewy candy we have scored. A higher-scoring option in gummies & chewy candy is Blue Stripes Superfruit Gummies Mango Pineapple at 100/100.
