Per serving it carries 0g protein and 2g sugar. 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.

V8 Strawberry Lemonade lists 22 ingredients, starting with Water, Vegetable Juice, Sweet Potatoes, Fruit Juice and Apples. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

10 kcal per serving, or 4 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores V8 Strawberry Lemonade on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 16/100 V8 Strawberry Lemonade scores worse than most juices we have scored. A higher-scoring option in juices is Trader Joe's Organic 100% Sicilian Lemon Juice at 100/100.
