A TASTE OF THAI, COCONUT MILK, UNSWEETENED
Analysis updated September 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This coconut milk product is ultra-processed due to the inclusion of guar gum as a stabilizer, which is a common additive in processed foods. While coconut itself is a beneficial ingredient providing healthy fats, the presence of guar gum and the processing level limit the product's score. The product's clean label with minimal additives is a positive aspect, but it cannot fully offset the processing level.

Risks
Excessive consumption of saturated fats may contribute to increased cholesterol levels in some individuals.
Benefits
Rich in MCTs that can provide quick energy and may support weight management and cognitive function.
