Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ‘365 by Wholefoods Everything Rice Crackers’ earns the lowest possible score on our scale for cleaner food options. This product is not organic, which detracts from its overall healthfulness. While it does use non-GMO ingredients, it contains several elements that raise concerns.
The presence of ‘Natural Flavor’ and ‘Flavor’ in the list of ingredients indicates the use of additives that may not align with a clean eating philosophy. These ambiguous terms often mask a variety of substances that consumers may prefer to avoid, and their inclusion results in a significant deduction from the product’s score. Additionally, ‘Maltodextrin’, a known additive with a high glycemic index, further reduces the product’s rating. Its inclusion is particularly problematic for those seeking to limit processed ingredients in their diet.
Moreover, the product contains ‘Canola’ oil, an ingredient often derived from genetically modified crops and heavily processed using chemical solvents. Despite being expeller pressed and organic in this instance, canola oil remains a contentious ingredient among health-conscious consumers looking for the cleanest food options available.
Despite the product’s use of whole grains and seeds such as brown rice flour, whole grain sorghum flour, sesame seed, millet, and poppy seed, which are generally considered healthful, the negative aspects of the other ingredients overshadow these positives.
The ‘365 by Wholefoods Everything Rice Crackers’ does not meet the standards for those seeking the purest, least processed foods. The inclusion of potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and controversial oils leads to the recommendation to avoid this product. Our assessment aims to guide consumers toward the healthiest, most natural food choices, and this product falls short of that goal.
