Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Boar’s Head Maple Glazed Honey Coat Turkey Breast falls short in our evaluation for cleaner food options. This product is not organic, nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, which significantly impacts its rating on our scale. Additionally, the inclusion of added sugars, specifically sugar and dextrose, further detracts from its score. The presence of natural flavorings and sea salt, which we classify as potentially harmful additives, also contributes to its low rating.
The ingredients list reveals that this turkey breast is coated with a mixture that includes honey, cacao seed powder, sugar, turkey broth, gelatin, and maple syrup. The meat itself contains added water, salt, sugar, dextrose, pure maple syrup, honey, sodium phosphate, natural flavorings, and sea salt. Our assessment focuses on the potential health implications of these added components, particularly the sugars and additives that are less desirable for consumers seeking cleaner food alternatives.
The product does not align with the criteria we prioritize for health-conscious consumers. The lack of organic certification and the presence of GMOs are significant concerns for those aiming to avoid such attributes in their food choices. The added sugars, particularly dextrose, raise additional health considerations, as excessive sugar intake is a widespread concern in modern diets. Furthermore, the inclusion of natural flavorings often points to the addition of undisclosed compounds, which we find undesirable for full transparency and healthfulness.
Consumers seeking cleaner, more wholesome food products may find this turkey breast to be inconsistent with their dietary preferences. The low green leaf rating reflects the product’s alignment with a more processed food profile rather than a clean, minimally processed option. Therefore, we advise those looking for healthier, cleaner foods to consider alternative products that better meet the criteria of organic, non-GMO, and free from added sugars and harmful additives.
