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 Unexpected Cheddar Chicken Sausage lists 12 ingredients, starting with Chicken, Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt and Microbial Enzyme. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
