Rating: Average
- 3 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Amy’s Kitchen Chinese Noodles & Veggies is a middle-of-the-road choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product stands out for its use of organic ingredients and non-GMO components, appealing to health-conscious consumers who prioritize these attributes in their food selection.
The ingredient list boasts a variety of organic vegetables, including broccoli, green beans, carrots, green onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and jalapeño peppers. Additionally, it features organic rice pasta as its base, alongside organic tofu and edamame, contributing to its plant-based protein content. The presence of organic tamari adds a savory flavor without resorting to artificial additives.
However, the product loses some of its green credentials due to the inclusion of added sugars. Organic cane sugar, while less processed than refined white sugar, is still a form of added sweetener that many health advocates prefer to minimize in their diets. The use of expeller pressed high oleic safflower or sunflower oil may raise concerns for those wary of high omega-6 fatty acid intake, which could disrupt a healthy omega-3 to omega-6 ratio if consumed in large amounts.
The Amy’s Kitchen Chinese Noodles & Veggies does not fully embrace the organic label, as it is not certified organic. This results in a deduction from its overall green leaf rating. Despite this, the product maintains a commitment to non-GMO ingredients, ensuring that consumers avoid genetically modified organisms in their meal.
With its balance of organic vegetables and grains, non-GMO assurance, and no artificial preservatives, Amy’s Kitchen Chinese Noodles & Veggies holds a respectable position for those navigating the complexities of healthy eating. While it does have room for improvement, particularly in the area of added sugars, it offers a convenient and relatively health-conscious option in the frozen food aisle.
