365

Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the 365 Uncured Beef Hot Dogs represent the lowest tier of cleaner food options according to our assessment criteria. This product is not organic, a factor that led to its reduced score. Additionally, the hot dogs are not verified as non-GMO, further impacting their green leaf rating negatively.

The inclusion of added sugars, specifically cane sugar, diminishes the product’s score as well. Our assessment criteria penalize the use of added sugars due to the health concerns associated with their consumption. Furthermore, the presence of cane sugar, which we classify as a more harmful type of added sugar, results in a larger deduction from the overall score.

Another critical factor in the assessment is the presence of potentially harmful additives. The product contains natural flavorings and cultured celery powder, which we consider to be additives of concern. These ingredients contribute to the low green leaf rating as they are often scrutinized for their potential health impacts.

The 365 Uncured Beef Hot Dogs also contain spices, paprika, cherry powder, and organic cane sugar, but these ingredients did not significantly affect the scoring as the aforementioned factors did.

The product’s low score reflects our stringent criteria for cleaner, healthier food options. The presence of non-organic ingredients, the inclusion of added sugars, and the use of certain additives have led to the recommendation to avoid this product. Consumers seeking cleaner food alternatives would be advised to consider other options that better align with the standards for health and transparency we uphold.
