Ingredient Score:
The Amy’s Kitchen Cheese Enchilada earns a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves. This product is a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food choices. While it doesn’t excel in all aspects of health and sustainability, it holds its ground with several positive attributes.
Amy’s Kitchen Cheese Enchilada is partially composed of organic ingredients, which is a noteworthy feature. The inclusion of organic corn tortillas, organic Monterey Jack cheese, and organic tomato purée, among others, underscores a commitment to using some quality components. However, the product is not entirely organic, which detracts from its potential score. The presence of organic onions, olives, and green chiles adds to the appeal for those prioritizing organic foods.
The product avoids the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which is another commendable aspect. This aligns with the preferences of consumers who are cautious about GMOs in their diet. The non-GMO stance is a significant draw for a segment of health-conscious shoppers.
The ingredient list includes a variety of cheeses, such as organic Monterey Jack, white cheddar, and cheddar cheese, which contributes to the product’s richness. The inclusion of filtered water, spices, and organic bell peppers is an attempt to maintain a clean label. However, the use of expeller pressed high oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil may raise questions for those strictly monitoring their intake of different types of fats.
The product also contains sea salt, which, while a natural seasoning, may be a concern for those on a sodium-restricted diet. The use of sweet rice flour and annatto is noted, the latter providing color to the cheese.
Overall, Amy’s Kitchen Cheese Enchilada is a product that bridges the gap between conventional offerings and the highest standards of clean eating. It provides a choice for those who prioritize organic and non-GMO ingredients but does not fully meet the criteria to be considered a top-tier clean food option. Its standing reflects a balance between healthier ingredients and areas where there is room for improvement.
