Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ‘365 by Wholefoods Tandoori Naan, Roasted Garlic’ is a product that our evaluation process finds to be among the least recommended options for those seeking cleaner food choices. This naan bread is not organic, and it is not made with non-GMO ingredients, which are significant factors in our assessment.
The product contains added sugars, specifically cane sugar and dextrose, which contribute to the low score. Added sugars are often a concern for health-conscious consumers looking to minimize their intake of unnecessary sweeteners. Highly refined soybean oil is another ingredient used in this naan that detracts from its overall score. Refined oils are generally considered less healthy due to the processing methods that can strip away beneficial nutrients and introduce harmful compounds.
Enriched wheat flour, despite its fortification with vitamins and minerals, is seen as a potentially harmful additive in the context of seeking the purest food options. The enrichment process often means the original nutrients were stripped during refining and synthetic versions have been added back, which does not align with the whole food philosophy.
The presence of various additives and conditioners, such as sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, and alpha amylase, also weigh into our assessment. These ingredients are common in many processed foods but may be undesirable for those aiming for a diet consisting of more natural and less processed items.
This product receives our lowest recommendation due to the combination of non-organic ingredients, the use of GMOs, added sugars, refined oils, and the inclusion of potentially harmful additives. For consumers prioritizing cleaner, more natural food choices, there are likely more suitable alternatives available that align better with these values.
