Organic Black Licorice

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

YumEarth Organic Black Licorice scores 56/100 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.

YumEarth Organic Black Licorice lists 11 ingredients, starting with Organic Rice Flour, Organic Rice Syrup, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Cane Sugar Molasses and Organic Corn Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 56/100 YumEarth Organic Black Licorice lands mid-scale — below the typical score in candy & confectionery, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in candy & confectionery is Hu Organic Salty Dark Chocolate 70% Cacao at 100/100.
