Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 7 ingredients to avoid

Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix with Cheese scores 5/100 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 1g fiber, 4g 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.

170 kcal per serving, or 378 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix with Cheese on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
