Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Amy’s Kitchen Mac & 3 Cheese With Cauliflower Bowl presents a choice for those seeking a meal with organic ingredients. However, the product does not fully meet the criteria for clean eating as defined by the standards of this review.
The dish features organic rice pasta, organic lowfat milk, and organic cauliflower, alongside a mix of white cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Ingredients such as butter, various organic flours, and Parmesan cheese also make an appearance. Despite these organic components, the product falls short due to the inclusion of added sugars and organic cane sugar, which are considered detrimental to the product’s health profile.
The scoring reflects a significant reduction of points for the presence of these sugars, indicating that the product has room for improvement in terms of its ingredient composition. The use of organic and non-GMO ingredients is a positive aspect, but the benefit is overshadowed by the negative impact of the added sugars on the overall score.
The product maintains a commitment to avoiding animal enzymes or rennet in its cheese, which may appeal to those with specific dietary preferences. Additionally, the use of organic potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and spices contribute to the product’s organic content. However, the presence of mustard powder, high oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil, yeast, and potato flour, while not detracting from the score, do not enhance the product’s standing as a clean food option.
The Amy’s Kitchen Mac & 3 Cheese With Cauliflower Bowl offers a combination of organic ingredients and a step towards non-GMO contents. Nevertheless, the inclusion of added sugars significantly detracts from its clean food status. With a 2 out of 5 green leaves rating, it stands as an option in the market but with notable room for improvement regarding its nutritional composition.
