Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, Amy’s Kitchen Spinach Veggie Crust Pizza presents itself as a vegetarian option in the frozen food aisle. However, upon closer examination, the product’s commitment to cleaner, healthier options falls short due to its ingredient choices.
The pizza’s foundation of organic tomato purée and part-skim mozzarella cheese starts it off with the potential for a health-conscious choice. The inclusion of a variety of vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes adds to the nutritional value. However, the benefits of these organic ingredients are overshadowed by the presence of added sugars, specifically organic cane sugar, which detracts from the product’s healthfulness.
The crust, made with organic tapioca starch, brown rice flour, and potato starch, among other ingredients, offers an alternative to traditional wheat crusts. Yet, the addition of organic cane sugar here again raises concerns. While the product avoids the use of GMO ingredients, it is not entirely organic, which is a drawback for consumers seeking pure organic food options.
Amy’s Kitchen Spinach Veggie Crust Pizza also includes ingredients like feta cheese and organic tofu, which provide protein sources. Psyllium, flax seed meal, and a range of spices contribute to the product’s fiber content and flavor profile. Despite these positive aspects, the use of added sugars, specifically the organic cane sugar, significantly impacts the product’s overall health rating.
The product’s score reflects its shortcomings in offering a truly clean and healthy option for consumers. Despite its use of non-GMO ingredients and inclusion of several organic components, the presence of added sugars and the lack of full organic status limit its appeal to those seeking the cleanest food choices. Amy’s Kitchen has the opportunity to reformulate this product to enhance its nutritional value and better align with the needs of health-conscious consumers.
