Twisted Cookie Sticks

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Twisted Cookie Sticks scores 26/100 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 Twisted Cookie Sticks lists 9 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Wheat Starch, Sugar, Palm Oil and Lactose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 26/100 Trader Joe's Twisted Cookie Sticks scores worse than most cookies we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cookies is Ava Organics Organic Coconut Crispy Rollers Original Coconut at 100/100.
