Trader Joe's Wheat Crisp Crackers

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Wheat Crisp Crackers scores 15/100 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 Wheat Crisp Crackers lists 25 ingredients, starting with Unbleached Enriched Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate and Riboflavin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Trader Joe's Wheat Crisp Crackers scores worse than most crackers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in crackers is Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares Original at 100/100.
