The Take

Spring rolls fail the healthy test outright. They earn a 71 Slop Score as seed-oil-fried wrappers of compromise.

Most versions deliver ultra-processed fillings inside additive-heavy skins marketed as exotic but rarely clean. Fresh veggie versions can be salvaged at home, yet the default pack stays a nutritional L.

The Verdict

Skip the pack. Buy rice paper and tallow — roll your own with real fat. The 71 Slop Score stays decisive for anything pre-fried or ultra-processed.

Health signaling via takeout Asian appetizers buys you bloat and seed oils, not virtue. Make them yourself or move on.

Common Questions
