Quick answer
Limit When Possible
Trader Joe's 4 cheese ravioli is rated limit when possible overall, with a Longevity Score of 58 out of 100 and a Food Integrity Score of 63 out of 100. Refined pasta and multiple cheeses with seed-oil filling; low fiber and notable sodium make this an occasional-choice item. Strengths include moderate protein from ricotta, mozzarella, and provolone, simple, recognizable core ingredients, and few synthetic additives, while main considerations include refined wheat pasta with very low fiber, seed oil (soy/sunflower/corn/canola) in filling, and sodium is elevated for one cup.
