Ingredient Score:
This product receives a rating of 1/5 green leaves, signaling it as a choice to be cautious of when seeking cleaner food options. The 365 by Wholefoods Chocolate Chip Two-bite® Cookies are not organic and also include GMO ingredients, which detracts from their clean food status. Additionally, these cookies contain multiple types of added sugars, such as invert cane sugar and cane sugar, contributing to their low rating.
The presence of potentially harmful additives, including natural flavor, enriched wheat flour, monoglycerides, soy lecithin, and caramel color, further impacts the product’s score. Caramel color, in particular, is singled out as a known harmful additive, which significantly affects the overall rating. Furthermore, the use of palm kernel oil and palm oil, which are considered harmful oils, not only contributes to health concerns but also raises environmental and ethical issues due to the impact of palm oil production on deforestation and habitat destruction.
The cookies’ ingredient list also includes elements such as microbial enzymes, ascorbic acid as a dough conditioner, and various vitamins and minerals used to enrich the wheat flour. However, despite these additions, the product’s score remains low due to the negative impact of the other ingredients.
The 365 by Wholefoods Chocolate Chip Two-bite® Cookies, with a score reflective of the lowest tier on the green leaf rating scale, are recommended for avoidance by those seeking cleaner and healthier food alternatives. The product’s composition includes several ingredients that are at odds with the principles of a clean food diet, emphasizing the importance of carefully examining and choosing food products that align with personal health and environmental values.
