Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Partake Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies offer a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food alternatives. These cookies provide a choice for consumers looking to avoid gluten and GMO ingredients, yet they do not fully commit to an organic recipe.
The product’s gluten-free flour blend, featuring organic light buckwheat flour, gluten-free oat flour, cassava flour, and tapioca flour, caters to those with gluten sensitivities or preferences. The use of non-GMO sunflower oil is a positive aspect, aligning with the preferences of health-conscious consumers. The inclusion of semi-sweet chocolate chips adds to the appeal for chocolate chip cookie enthusiasts, ensuring the classic taste remains intact within the dietary constraints.
However, the cookies lose ground with the addition of multiple types of sugars, including organic fair-trade cane sugar, organic light brown sugar, and fructose. While the use of organic cane sugar and molasses may align with some clean eating principles, the presence of added sugars such as tapioca syrup detracts from the product’s healthfulness. The cookies further incorporate tapioca starch, fiber syrup, and caramelized cane sugar, which contribute to the overall sugar content.
Despite these drawbacks, the cookies also contain beneficial ingredients like milled flax meal, known for its fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and rosemary extract, often used as a natural preservative. The product avoids artificial colors and flavors, opting instead for vanilla extract to enhance taste naturally.
The Partake Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies strike a balance, offering a gluten-free and non-GMO treat that still includes a considerable amount of added sugars. While the product does not embrace a fully organic approach, it serves as a moderately healthier alternative in the saturated market of traditional cookies. This balance positions the cookies as a compromise between indulgence and mindful eating, suitable for those navigating the complex landscape of cleaner food options.
