- 3 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 3/5 green leaves rating, the ‘365 By Wholefoods Gluten Free Everything Seasoning Almond & Sunflower Seed Flour Crackers’ stands as a mid-tier choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product offers a blend of nut and seed flours, including almond, sunflower seed, and flaxseed, combined with tapioca and cassava flours for its base. The inclusion of a variety of seeds such as sesame, black sesame, and poppy, along with onion and garlic powders, provides a savory profile.
The product does not hold an organic certification, which results in a deduction from its overall score. However, it boasts non-GMO ingredients, aligning with a preference for foods that avoid genetically modified organisms. A significant concern arises with the use of expeller pressed canola oil within the rosemary extract, an ingredient that the scoring system deems as a harmful oil, leading to a further reduction in points.
The crackers are free from gluten, catering to those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, and the use of nut and seed flours contributes to a higher protein content compared to traditional grain-based crackers. The presence of Himalayan pink salt offers a perceived healthier alternative to regular table salt.
Despite these positive attributes, the lack of organic certification and the inclusion of canola oil, even in a small amount as part of the rosemary extract, affects the product’s standing within the criteria set by the website. The 3/5 green leaves rating reflects a balance between the wholesome ingredients used and the areas where the product does not meet the stringent standards for a top-tier clean food option.
The ‘365 By Wholefoods Gluten Free Everything Seasoning Almond & Sunflower Seed Flour Crackers’ occupies a middle ground in the selection of healthier snacks. It has merits for those looking to avoid gluten and GMOs, yet it falls short of the highest marks due to its non-organic status and the use of an ingredient considered less desirable by the scoring system.
