- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ‘365 By Wholefoods Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips’ hold the lowest position on our scale for cleaner food options. This rating reflects our assessment of the product’s ingredients and manufacturing processes.
The chips are not organic, which detracts from their overall score. While they do not use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the presence of added sugars, including dextrose and citric acid, raises concerns. Dextrose, in particular, is noted for its more detrimental health effects. The product also contains natural flavors and maltodextrin, which we have identified as potentially and known harmful additives, respectively. The use of canola oil, listed as an expeller pressed oil, is another point of contention due to its controversial health impacts.
The ingredient list reveals nonfat milk solids, buttermilk powder, whey powder, onion powder, sour cream powder, parsley, and sea salt alongside the potatoes and oils. While the product avoids the use of GMOs, the inclusion of certain non-organic ingredients and added sugars lessens its appeal for those seeking cleaner food options.
Our evaluation process is stringent, aiming to identify and recommend products that align with a health-conscious lifestyle. The ‘365 By Wholefoods Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips’ do not meet the criteria that would warrant a higher rating on our scale. Consumers who prioritize clean eating and wish to avoid the aforementioned additives and sugars may find this product unsuitable for their dietary preferences.
The 1/5 green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator of our stance on this product. It falls short of the standards we promote for cleaner, healthier food choices. As a result, we advise consumers to consider alternative options that better align with the principles of clean eating and wellness.
