Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice Cocktail scores 39/100 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. Per serving it carries 0g protein and 17g 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.

Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice Cocktail lists 7 ingredients, starting with Grape Juice, Sparkling Filtered Water, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid and For Tartness. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

70 kcal per serving, or 29 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice Cocktail on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 39/100 Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice Cocktail scores worse than most dairy-alternative milks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in dairy-alternative milks is Califia Farms Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk at 100/100.
