Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Amy’s Kitchen Breakfast Scramble falls short of the highest standards for clean eating as defined by our website’s criteria. This product, while boasting a range of organic ingredients such as tofu, roasted red potatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli, fails to achieve a fully organic status, leading to a deduction in its green leaf score.
The presence of added sugars, specifically organic maple syrup, organic cane sugar, and organic agave syrup, further detracts from its cleanliness. The latter two, agave syrup and cane sugar, are considered more harmful forms of added sugar, prompting a greater reduction in score. The product also includes elements like natural flavor and yeast, which are flagged as potentially harmful additives by our evaluation system.
Despite these drawbacks, the Breakfast Scramble does utilize non-GMO ingredients, a positive aspect in terms of health and environmental impact. However, the product’s cleanliness is overshadowed by the negative aspects of its composition. The use of expeller pressed high oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil, along with organic extra virgin olive oil, suggests an attempt to include healthier fats, yet this is not enough to offset the other concerns.
The Amy’s Kitchen Breakfast Scramble, with its mixture of organic components and less desirable additives and sugars, presents a complex profile for those seeking cleaner food options. While it includes a number of organic vegetables and grains, the overall score reflects the need for improvement to meet the high standards for a clean and healthy diet. The product’s 2 out of 5 green leaves rating serves as a guide for consumers aiming to navigate the crowded and often confusing market of food choices, directing them towards options that prioritize both health and environmental sustainability.
