Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Partake Marvel Crunchy Super Hero Sprinkle Mini Cookie doesn’t meet the criteria for clean and healthy food options on our website. This product is not organic, and while it uses non-GMO ingredients, the inclusion of added sugars, specifically organic cane sugar, detracts from its healthfulness. The presence of maltodextrin, a known harmful additive, further reduces its score.
The product’s flour blend comprises organic light buckwheat flour, gluten-free oat flour, cassava flour, tapioca flour, and gluten-free oats, which are healthier alternatives to traditional wheat flour. However, the use of organic cane sugar and additional sugar in the sprinkles adds unnecessary sweetness with potential health drawbacks. The sprinkles themselves contain natural colors derived from paprika and spirulina extracts, purple sweet potato, and red radish. Although these are natural sources, the overall benefit is overshadowed by the presence of sugar and maltodextrin.
Furthermore, the oil used in the cookie is non-GMO sunflower oil, which is a positive aspect, but this is offset by the inclusion of maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is often used as a thickener or filler to increase the volume of processed foods, and its high glycemic index can cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
The cookie also contains several other ingredients like sea salt, tapioca starch, tapioca fiber syrup, baking soda, vanilla extract, and rosemary extract. These ingredients are less controversial but still contribute to the product’s overall composition.
The product’s healthfulness is compromised by its added sugars and maltodextrin, despite the use of non-GMO ingredients and a gluten-free label. The Partake Marvel Crunchy Super Hero Sprinkle Mini Cookie has room for improvement to align with cleaner, healthier food standards. Removing harmful additives and reducing added sugars would be necessary steps to enhance the product’s rating and provide consumers with a more beneficial option in the crowded market of food products.
