Breakdown

Not fully ranked yet

Trader Joe's Vanilla Almond Granola scores 65/100 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 Vanilla Almond Granola lists 10 ingredients, starting with Whole Rolled Oats, Milled Cane Sugar, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Rice Flour and Almonds. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Trader Joe's Vanilla Almond Granola lands mid-scale — below the typical score in granola & muesli, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in granola & muesli is purely elizabeth. Organic Recipe No. 01 Original Salty-Sweet Granola, 34 oz (964 g) at 95/100.
